TI is putting out codecs for the DM365 faster than we can supported in GStreamer .

Now you find mpeg2, VC1, AEC, mp3, aac, wma codecs for DM365. Thanks to the work we did in the past for the Leopard DM355, we were able to adapt gstreamer-ti DDOMPE branch to support the AAC codecs for DM365, and unlike the DM355 this codec doesn’t froze when you try to encode along with alsa. So encoding aac audio is as simple as:

gst-launch -e alsasrc ! dmaienc_aac ! qtmux ! filesrc location = test.m4a

This generates files that can be playback with quicktime or any standard media player. The properties of the plugin also allow to configure the encoder to generate the proper streams if you intend to do network streaming.

Audio decoding isn’t working out of the box as we need to implement some code handling for extended arguments on the decoding side (replicating the logic we have for encoders).

We have improved RidgeRun SDK for DM365 platforms to support automatic download and compilation of the AAC codecs if the user selects it (without requiring manual intervention). If you are looking into using the mp3, wma, aec, mpeg2, or VC1 codec in gstreamer, talk to us, we can make that happen.

We have made available our SDK for the LeopardBoard DM365.

This is a beta release since the quality of the drivers and functionality is still subject to much improvement. However we wanted community users to have something to get started as soon as possible.

In our developer site, you will find the documentation with the current know issues, and the work plan for fixing them.

Enjoy.

In case you miss the news, the Leopard DM365 board is now available.

We will be rolling an SDK for it pretty soon (less than two weeks).

If you are looking for HD video streaming, the DM365 is a great chip to use. We have a free SDK available for download. The SDK has u-boot 1.3.4 bootloader, Linux 2.6.18, and gcc 4.2.4. All the common drivers are included in the free SDK. Details listed at DM365 SDK.

Soon the SDK will be updated so you have your choice of kernels – Linux 2.6.18 or the latest and greatest from linux-davinci GIT repository. Watch the blog for details.
