• Since DSPLink and SysLink compete for the same hardware resources, it is not possible for both DSPLink and SysLink to coexist for communication between the same pair of processors. It is advisable to use SysLink on all cores to make the best use of the IPC features available. If it is not possible to use SysLink on all cores due to some specific requirements such as legacy content on the DSP, it may be possible to make changes in DSPLink & SysLink to use SysLink between some of the processors, and DSPLink between any one pair. For example, on TI81XX, it is possible to modify the SysLink code, and specially port DSPLink to use DSPLink between ARM Cortex A8 <-> DSP, and SysLink in the other configurations with Video-M3 & VPSS-M3. However, this is not advised and not supported by the TI software. • Also, note that if used in such a configuration, it is not possible to use SysLink/IPC for communication between Video-M3/VPSS-M3 <-> DSP, since DSPLink only works with SYS/BIOS 6 legacy laye
