May be things have changed since then. I bought DVEVM boards from SD just recently and they are perfectly functional, boot Linux from flash, so no bring-up required. I haven't tried running TI demos on these boards, so can not comment on this. Here is the link: http://www.spectrumdigital.com/product_info.php?cPath=37_105&products_id=192 Michael

It is just ~$1200 and comes with preloaded MVLinux on NAND, but no dev tools. These you get either from MVista for big bucks or from TI as part of the bundle. >>> Regards, Michael ***************************** I thought doing this a while ago. But when I called Spectrum Digital, they warned me that it would be very-very difficult to bring up a 'bare' EVM board. It wasn't very clear to me what the reason exactly was. (No bootloader ?). I had the same thing confirmed by another source. I also heard that the TI samples are locked to an ID on the EVM. So they won't run on a bare board. Maybe someone can shine a light on this ? What tools would be needed to bring up a spectrum digital board.
