I dont know if this has been mentioned here before, but there is DSP software, and there is DaVinci Codec DSP software. With the eval v3.1 tools, you can compile for a generic C64xx DSP and produce executable code that will load and run on the DaVinci C64x+ DSP core. With the SDK for $10k, you're buying a lot more than code generation tools. From what I can tell, the SDK is targeted at 3rd party algorithm developers. For system developers who just want DaVinci because it is an ARM and a DSP in a single IC, and want to write/port firmware for some custom application, you only need a CodeComposer license.
