Link releases are here:
https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/targetcontent/link/index.html

When updating Link, you'll likely need to update Codec Engine as well:
https://www-a.ti.com/downloads/sds_support/targetcontent/CE/index.html

The 'what to use with what' is described here:
http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=Codec_Engine_Roadmap

To minimize disruption to your particular environment, I'd recommend the CE 
2.10.02/Link 1.50 pair.  (CE 2.20 is OMAP devices only, and CE 2.21 will 
require an update to a newer gcc toolchain).

Pardon me for asking,

But where can I find Link 1.50? Just going to the updates website at: 
http://www.ti.com/dvevmupdates

I see the latest DVSDK is 1.30.01.04. Inside this the release notes say that it 
is bundled with dsplink_140-05p1.

Is there a different download site for the latest codec engine utilities and 
such?

Thanks again,

Josh

Which version of Codec Engine/DSP Link are you using?  I think one of the Link 
releases had an issue when the apps used system() calls.

[ I want to say it was fixed in Link 1.50. ]

Subject: system() and Codec Engine
Hey guys,

I'm having a problem when using a system() C function call and the codec engine 
is running. I know inside a POSIX system(...) it essentially forks, execs, 
waitpid. From what I read a child process is spawned with the parent's copy of 
a data space, heap, and a stack.

Anyways when I call the system function WITHOUT the codec engine running it 
executes properly. Just for a test I do something very simple:

system("date > test.txt");

Now when I run that with the codec engine running in a separate thread, I get a 
kernel Oops Error and when the program goes to exit it freezes the davinci.

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c4e06c8e
pgd = c06bc000

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Josh
