We are very happy to release our free SDK for DM355 Leopard board.

We have been busy trying to keep up with all the interest in gstreamer for TI SoCs. Finally we found time to create our first free SDK for Leopard board. This SDK features integration with TI’s DVSDK for DM355 and Gstreamer plugins with hardware acceleration. We will be over time publishing more example pipelines and code that shows how to get gstreamer working on it.

This SDK provides:

• 2.6.18 Kernel based on TI LSP 2.0 plus some Leopard board changes.
• Uboot 1.2.0 with RidgeRun improvements, featuring DFU support for flashing the board and usb serial console.
• RidgeRun’ u-boot deployment system that automates deploying of the firmware to the board.
• DVSDK 2.0 integration
• Gstreamer support.
• Toolchain based on gcc 4.x, ARM EABI

We also have two students working on improving the camera support and audio codec support for the Leopard. We will be publishing the code as it become available.

We hope this release will accelerate the development capabilities of the users of Leopard Board.

If you are building a project with DM355, RidgeRun also offers Developers SDKs for accelerate your time-to-market. Please contact us for more details.

Free SDK for Leopard is available in our download page.

We just released an updated FreeSDK for DM355 based on kernel 2.6.18 (LSP from TI). We have provided DM355 SDKs in the past based on RidgeRun’s home-baked kernel, but we are now sampling a stable kernel based on LSP with the purpose of supporting customers wishing to use DVSDK 2.0 and are interested in using Gstreamer for TI plugins.  This SDK also updates support for DMAI,  latest CE tools from TI and includes support for u-boot, DFU, and a splash screen in u-boot.

The FreeSDK provides integration for the DVSDK 2.0, which enables embedded developers evaluating Davinci technology to get in touch with the platform capabilities and evaluate RidgeRun’s supported platform that is designed to simplify development and manufacturing of your products.

RidgeRun provides as well engineer-to-engineer technical support and expertise on TI Davinci platform.
