We have (finally!) released and updated Evaluation SDK for Leopard Board. The highlights are:

• Kernel 2.6.29 based:
  • We have added the camera patches (VGA) so the camera works with v4l2 APIS (in particular it works with gstreamer, thanks Maria!).
  • Audio patches so input and output are working with alsa (thanks Cristina!).
• DVSDK integration with the git kernel (thanks Maria!)
• GStreamer integration: support for encoding/decoding mpeg4 and if you download the DM355s codec combo you can enable AAC/MP3 encoding decoding (thanks Cristina!).
• We have tested the gstreamer elements are capable of RTSP streaming.

Known issues (we will be fixing them soon):

• No support for NAND flashing from uboot. Recommended boot modes are NFS and SD card.
• Network interface doesn’t set a default MAC address, so an uboot network operation is required before booting.
• Network interface issues may cause the board to lost connection over NFS.
• Garbage on the screen during CPU overload (flickering).
• No support for FB interface from the TIDmaiVideoSink

Even the known issues list is long we think we should have them fix soon, and want to share the new features ASAP.

Special thanks for this efforts to María Rodriguez and Cristina Murillo, our two interns from ITCR and now full time engineers, and to Miguel Aguilar, our engineer supervising their work.
