TMS320DM355 Digital Video Evaluation Module

The Digital Video Evaluation Module (DVEVM) enables developers to build start immediate evaluation of DaVinci™ processors and begin building digital video applications such as videophones, automotive infotainment, digital still cameras, streaming media, IP set-top boxes, video security systems and digital video products that have yet to be invented.

The Digital Video Software Production Bundle (DVSPB) MontaVista Linux companion product is recommended for production.

DM355 Digital Video Evaluation Module includes the following components:

  • TMS320DM355 DaVinci™ processor-based development board
  • IR remote
  • Development board reference materials (gerber, schematics, BOM)
  • 2 GB NAND Flash
  • Video Input/Output, Audio In/Out, UART, External EMAC, USB 2.0, JTAG
  • TI eXpressDSP Linux-based DVSDK
  • MontaVista Pro Demonstration Tools
  • DM355 Getting Started Guide and Hardware Technical Reference

* JPEG and HD MPEG-4 evaluation codecs are included on the DVD that accompanies the DVEVM. To download production codecs, customers must register their DVEVM at  www.ti.com/davinciregistration.

Features:

TI’s eXpressDSP Linux-based DVSDK allows system integrators to incorporate discrete software modules and combine them into a single executable output for the systems, avoiding months of tedious manual integration. By making it easy to create custom bundles of codecs for specific applications, the configuration kit makes it simple to reuse code. The DVSDK inlcudes:
  • TI’s video, imaging, speech and audio codecs (MPEG-4, JPEG and G.711)
  • Custom codecs that comply with TI’s eXpressDSP™ Digital Media (xDM) algorithm standard
  • Multi-media APIs and Codec Engine Frameworks
  • Reference Guidelines for high-speed Video board design (DDR2 layout)
  • Demonstration version of MontaVista Linux Pro 4
  • Drivers for UART, I2C, SPI, EDMA, NAND,MMC, SD Card, USB Host/Gadget
  • Video Processing Subsystem (Display, Capture, CCD Controller, Resizer, Previewer)
  • OSS Audio (ASP), GPIO, PWM, WDTIM
  • Uboot loader
