The VICP is a collection of loosely coupled accelerators attached to the C64x+ DSP within the DM6446. The VICP signal processing library provides a simple way of programming these accelerators to provide additional DSP performance within your system.
I hope this is good news to the Neuros OSD2 community and will encourage further software development. I'll be looking for responses to this e-mail for questions and encourage further suggestions and comments on TI's community forums[6].
Thanks for such a great project!
