Overview

The Linux EZ Software Development Kit (EZ SDK) allows customers to evaluate their devices in minutes and begin development in less than an hour. This kit provides everything DaVinci™ developers need to evaluate and start developing on the DaVinci™ DM816x/DM814x processors. With the included Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based Application Launcher, launching demos, benchmarks, and applications is a snap. Furthermore, developers will find it easy to develop applications and add them to the Application Launcher. The EZ SDK also includes video/audio codecs and DSP-accelerated algorithms as well as tools, such as C6EZRun and C6EZAccel, to allow ARM developers to easily leverage the DSP for signal processing tasks.

The DaVinci Linux EZSDK is free from TI, and does not require any run-time royalties.

Release Information

Attention C6A816x/AM389x Users: If you have an older EVM that supports only DDR2 Memory, then please read the release notes for important installation and upgrade information before downloading the installer.

Attention DM814x Users: If you have an EVM without an Expansion IO with touchscreen LCD, then please read the release notes for important installation and upgrade information on how to configure your for HDMI display.

Internet Explorer users: right click, select Save As. In the file dialog change the file type to All Files before saving the file (otherwise the installer will be saved as a text file).

5.2 If necessary make the installer executable manually by executing:

5.3 Execute the installer on the host and follow the instructions:

5.4 Once installation is complete, the Software Developers Guide (SDG) will open. Follow the instructions in the SDG to start developing software.

5.5 The SDG and other documentation can be found in the docs folder of the EZSDK installation directory.

5.6 If desired, the SD card referenced in the QSG can be re-created as described in section

in the SDG. Optionally, you can download the Demo Binaries tar.gz file. This package is a subset of the full EZSDK and contains the scripts and documentation required to create an SD card or export the EZSDK filesystem on NFS. Since this package is much smaller than the full EZSDK, you can optionally download it ahead of the full EZSDK installer to quickly evaluate the demonstration applications. To do any software development, you will need to download and install the full EZSDK.

The EZSDK installer already comes with the sources of the TI software. If you want to download the additional source files of the open source components, download them below as an ISO image (

). Note that this is an

download which is not required to develop applications with the EZSDK.

If you prefer a physical disk, please click on

and one will be sent to you by mail. Please include your name and mailing address in the email if requesting a physical DVD.

There is a US $17 shipping and handling fee associated with receiving the CD.
