When you are just trying to get the basic stuff working, it is best to just use the TI provided software as-is. To find the latest TI software applicable to your platform: Visit www.ti.com -> part number search -> enter "DM3730" -> press "GO". You will come to a page which is usually known as the SoC "product folder". Click "Software and Tools" on the right hand side. Click on the link for DVSDK. Click "Get Software" in the page that appears. You will come to the DVSDK download page which along with the software downloads contains a "quick start guide" If you have further questions on the DVSDK, it is best to post them on e2e.ti.com -> "Embedded Software" -> "Linux forum" Thanks, Sekhar _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
