We are working on an audio codec project with very limited experiences. So far we have implemented the algo in Matlab and ported it as a vs 2005 float-point version. We need to figure out what to do next.
All we know is a fixed-point chip would be adequate for our purpose.
We are planning to
1) convert the float-point into fixed-point C; THEN
2) estimate the computation complexity and storage need; THEN
3) choose the right chip (probably from TI)
4) we don't know
The questions are:
a) Does this make sense?
b) We are not sure what tools are available for step 2, i.e. estimating the complexity mostly?
c) After we are done selecting chip, what should we do? Contact TI for samples and development kit, and then port the c code?
Thank you in adv for any advice!!!
