Hi, I'm evaluating the DM355 DV EVM for use in my thesis and have a bunch of questions.
- the TI webpage says "Development board reference materials (gerber, schematics, BOM)". What format are these in? Is board layout also included? How many layers is the reference board design? - the TI webpage says "On-board Ethernet controller with application notes and schematics". Does this mean the DM355 does not have an on-chip MAC and that it requires an external MAC/PHY chip? If I wanted to create a DM355 solution with two ethernet interfaces such as LAN and WAN, would I need to write special drivers or require major board changes? - do I need to buy any software just to write applications for the DM355 DVEVM or is everything that is needed part of the free software packages? I want to write a video encode/decode application so I will need a compiler and toolchain and be able to link against the CodecEngine library. - I want to use a CMOS sensor but I saw statements saying the DM355 only works with a Micron Imager. Is there a list of compatible CMOS sensors that could be easily interfaced with the DM355 DVEVM? - what codec demos are there available? is source included? I intend to write an application that can draw a user interface on an LCD display and then perform audio/video encode/decode similar to a video phone. Is there anything similar to this that I could use as a starting point? - what is the API to draw to the LCD display? is it the same as normal Linux, ie: GTK etc? - does the DM355 DVEVM have any mechanism to connect to an LCD display like an 24-bit or 16-bit TTL TFT LCD? - is there any web browser that has been ported to the DM355? - what's the cheapest JTAG tool to use with the DM355 DVEVM? the ability to reflash with a working image if I accidentally overwrote the ROM or boot flash would be the minimum functionality desired. Thank you for your help. Ilyssa
