Hello!

I noticed that Texas Instruments has released the new DVSDK (release 3.10) and I was wondering what you thought about it? How does it influence the Leopard Board DM356 development, what is it going to change, how to implement it on the Leopard Board, etc.

I am curious to know if it would be easy to adapt it to the Leopard Board. Any idea, anyone?

Thanks!

Hi,

We have integrated the 3.10 DVSDK and linux 2.6.32 kernel into our professional SDK. Soon the evaluation SDK available on our download site will be updated for LeopardBoard DM365 too.

You should find the codecs perform faster. Depending on which kernel version you have been using, the 2.6.32 version better supports HD resolutions.

Hi,

Does the new SDK will support the Video Input Board LI-VI365?

Marian,

RidgeRun has not received a LI-VI365 board, so we can't test that it works. The LI-VI365 uses the TI TVP5146 video decoder chip. The Linux 2.6.32 kernel does include the TI TVP5146/47 decoder driver, so the pieces will be in place. You will need to verify I/O pin multiplexing, clock settings, etc when using the LI-VI365.
