Performance Analysis for EDMA Based on TIC6678Multi-core DSP

Frequent data exchange among all kinds of memories has become an inevitable phenomenon in the process of modern embeddedsoftware design. In order to improve the ability of the embedded system data＇s throughput and computation, most embeddeddevices introduce Enhanced Direct Memory Access （EDMA） data transfer technology. TMS320C6678 is a multi-core DSPproduced by Texas Instruments （TI）. There are ten EDMA transmission controllers in the chip for configuration and datatransmissions are allowed to be performed between any two pieces of storage at the same time. This paper expounds the workingmechanism of EDMA based on multi-core DSP TMS320C6678. At the same time, multiple data sets are provided and thebottleneck of limiting data throughout is analyzed and solved.
