Digital Video Software Development Kit, low- to high-end development tools and three OMAP35x devices based on the ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A8 now available
A complete development environment is provided with the first OMAP35x DVSDK for the OMAP35x Evaluation Module (EVM), which allows developers to jump start the design of performance-hungry, power-sipping devices with multimedia features and get their products to market months ahead of their competition. The DVSDK includes basic audio and video codecs to simplify and accelerate the integration and subsequent optimization into a finely-tuned system. Making integration even easier, customers no longer have to directly manage codecs since TI's DaVinci(TM) technology makes multimedia possible via ARM-based application programming interface (API) libraries, which communicate with the digital signal processor (DSP) and video accelerators. Additionally, the DVSDK integrates TI's codec engine multimedia framework that works on the Linux 2.6.22 kernel today and will also support Windows(R) Embedded CE 6.0 in the near future. Since the processors are completely scalable, current OMAP35x EVM users can download the OMAP35x DVSDK to continue development on the OMAP3530 device without losing any design time.
Development tools to fit several designing needs
After only a few months since the introduction of the breakthrough processors, a wide breadth of OMAP35x development tools from TI and third parties are available to help developers accelerate their design efforts, whether they are looking for a low-cost, fanless board to implement creative ideas, a complete turn-key reference design or a production-ready system on a module (SOM), such as the one used in Logic's Zoom(TM) Medical OMAP35x Development Kit.
