My Automedia Card could use some help running MPEGDEC
I spoke to the developer of MPEGDec a long while back. He was working on porting to the
AudioMedia cards - the problem he ran into was that there is insufficient RAM attached to the DSP.
DSP supported 68k SETI WorkUnitCruncher
As a stepping-stone to something
useful? Sure, why not.
ARTA (Apple Real Time Architecture)
Thanks, beachycove. That was the acronym I was trying to remember. Searching for more info now, and I'll add links here to what I find.
840AV uses an AT&T DSP 3210 / Supermac GX card for the Thunder/24 (and others?) uses AT&T DSP 3210
Well that sounds promising then, for audio routines, as they are already known to exist for the AV Quadras.
And absent developer tools, I imagine most of the work you'd be able to do will be in assembly (or machine code) for the DSP(s) in question.
They might be available in gcc or other open toolchains - worth checking. With a bit of luck, there might even be open-source routines floating around for re-use.
