Porting of OSSIE on Texas Instrument´s DAVINCI SoC Based SDR Platform

Software Communication Architecture (SCA) is an open architecture specification for the development of Software Defined Radios (SDRs). OSSIE (Open Source SCA Implementation: Embedded) is an SCA-compliant SDR framework which provides additional tools for experimentation and rapid prototype development. OSSIE framework has stabilized and reached a level of maturity for desktop environment. Therefore there is a need to target new devices and hardware platforms because ultimately SDR´s will find most of their applications in embedded forms. In this work OSSIE and its dependencies have been ported to a custom designed embedded SDR platform, based on Texas Instrument´s DAVINCI technology System on Chip (SoC). Open Embedded has been used for this port which is a complete build system for embedded platforms. Successful OSSIE port has been verified by building and executing a test waveform on this SDR platform.
