Real-time 3-D image generation with TMS320C30 EVM

Abstract

This paper describes an application of the TMS320C30 Evaluation Module (EVM) in the generation of three-dimensional (3-D) scenes in real-time. It also discusses how complex structures which are commonly used in the generation of 3-D scenes should be passed from a main program in C to TMS320C30 assembly language subroutines; and describes in detail the layout of relevant memory maps. Finally, there is a discussion of various approaches for passing parameters from one assembly language subroutine to another, which is very important in real-time applications.
