Introduction
This wikipage highlights and overview the various software libraries provided by Texas Instruments for its c6x family of devices. Various software libraries are provided to help reduce customer development time by providing optimized routines that can be used
directly by the customers in their solutions or used as examples by customers as illustration on approaches to optimize for the c6x device family.
The software libraries are provided to serve a variety of end product needs:
- Foundational Math and Signal Processing Libraries
- Image and Video Processing Libraries
- Telecommunication Libraries
- Medical Libraries
The sections below will highlight each software library as well as provide links to obtain the software and get additional information. The library deliveries may vary in their content and form, but in general:
- A number of the libraries are provided as free downloads and with open source licenses. Some do require a TI commercial license.
- Most of the libraries are provided with source code which serves the purpose of providing c6x optimization examples as well as allows customization. However, some libraries are provide in object only. The library source code
deliveries will include C models as well as processor optimized code
- The libraries will include test benches and examples as providing usage examples as well as verification of correctness
Many libraries can be downloaded in a single package as part of the Multicore SDK:

Foundational Math and Signal Processing Libraries
MathLIB
The Texas Instruments math library (MathLIB) is an optimized floating-point math function library for C programmers using TI c6x floating point devices. These routines are typically used in computationally intensive real-time applications where optimal execution
speed is critical. By using these routines instead of the routines found in the existing run-time-support libraries, you can achieve execution speeds considerably faster without rewriting existing code. The MATHLIB library includes all floating-point math
routines currently provided in existing run-time-support libraries. These new functions can be called with the current run-time-support library names or the new names included in the math library.
Types of function provided:
- Trigonometry (sine, cosine, arc tangent)
- Logarithm
- Exponent
- Power
- Reciprocal
- Square Root
- Division
In addition MathLIB supports:
- Single and double precision
- Single sample or vector inputs
- C-callable routines which can be inlined and are fully compatible with the TMS320C6000 compiler tools

codecs, that can be acquired from TI separately, the components of VoLIB satisfy most of the fundamental building blocks required to develop a complete VoIP signal processing chain.
VOLIB comprises a collection of stand-alone voice processing components that provides the following functionality:
- Line echo cancellation
- Single and multi-tone detection and generation
- Voice activity detection
- Noise generation
- Packet loss concealment
- Caller ID generation and detection
- High level compensation

- Voice quality enhancement
These blocks may be quickly linked with relative ease in order to suit the needs of most voice processing systems. The components are reliable field-hardened voice processing building blocks from Telogy’s VoIP solutions.
Each package comprises one or more Embedded Communication Object (ECO) components. An ECO is a collection of portable ANSI-C functions and data structures encapsulated in a strict object oriented manner to facilitate instantiation of multiple independent object
instances. Each ECO has, at it's heart, an algorithm that has been optimized to operate efficiently in a real-time embedded communications environment.

FaxLIB
The FAX Library (FAXLIB) provides components that allow a development team to reduce time-to-market by providing the major building blocks of a fax-relay processing system. G3 Fax relay processing is comprised of two modules: Fax Modem (FM), and Facsimile Interface
Unit (FIU). FM implements the modulation/demodulation functions for V.21, V.27ter, V.29, V.17 and V.33, and HDLC framing/de-framing. FIU implements T.30 protocol processing, packet network facsimile processing, and compensations for network impairments: delay,
jitter, and packet loss. It receives messages including demodulated data from FM and performs protocol conversion to a digital facsimile protocol (i.e. T.38) for transmission over the packet network. Likewise, in the receive direction, data packets are converted
to T.30 protocol and passed to FM for HDLC framing if necessary and modulation for transmission over the analog connection.
The components provided in FAXLIB can be used together to implement complete fax over packet functionality as illustrated in the Figure below or used as separate components.
FAXLIB includes:
The
Facsimile Modem Unit (FM) is a software module that performs all the modulation and demodulation functions required of a fax modem: demodulation of PCM data received at the analog interface, and modulation of facsimile protocol messages
received from the FIU. The FM module has the following capabilities and features:
- V.21 300 bps channel 2 (1750 Hz nominal frequency) binary signal modulation and demodulation
- HDLC framing / deframing (0 bit insertion & removal, CRC generation & checking)
- V.27ter (2400 / 4800 bps),
- V.29 (7200 / 9600 bps),
- V.17 (7200 / 9600 / 12000 / 14400 bps),
- V.33 (12000 / 14400 bps) high-speed data modulation and demodulation
- Control the generation of fax tones (i.e. CNG / CED) by an external tone generation utility through API's
The
Facsimile Interface Unit (FIU) is a software module that process messages (including data) from the Facsimile Modem Unit (FM) for transmission over a packet network and vice versa. Likewise, it process digital data received from the network
and passes them to FM for transmission over the analog connection. In doing so, the FIU performs protocol conversion between Group 3 facsimile protocols and the digital facsimile protocol employed over the packet network. The FIU performs the following functions:
- T.30 protocol processing
- Examination and alteration of binary signaling messages to ensure compatibility of the facsimile transfer
- Packet network facsimile protocol processing
- Compensation for network impairments: packet loss, jitter and delay
- FAXMONTM real-time debug tracing
The
High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) processing utility software that performs HDLC formatting and de-formatting of transmit and receive data streams.

AER / AEC
The AER serves the purpose of removing and minimizing the impact of acoustic echo in a phone or other similar devices or systems. The acoustic echo is generated by the coupling between the speaker and the microphone of the same device or system. When the system
is operated in hands-free mode, the acoustic echo can be very strong, and may be even higher than the direct speech power generated by the near-end talker.

Feedback and Support on Software Libraries
If you have issues with or questions about the DSP software libraries, you can look for support from TI's E2E community forums. It is recommended that you place your question tagged according to the specific library (e.g., 'DSPLIB'). The tag is important as
it lets the TI support team filter your questions to the right people. Without the tag, responses to your posts may be delayed.
Bug Reports and feature requests
If you believe you have found a bug or if you wish to see a new feature in the future release of the libraries, you can report it to the developers list mentioned below and provide as much detail as you can on your requests. Before filing a bug report or a
feature request, you may want to post on the TI E2E forums with a question about the issue. It is also recommended that you search or browse forum items to make sure you are not posting a duplicate request of an existing forum post.
Developer Mailing List
The
Software Libraries developers mailing list exists for users to
report issues, submit feature requests and discuss ideas. Please feel free to write to us with any feedback you may have for us.
