Linux Reaches Another Development Board from Texas Instruments

DaVinci processors gain Linux SDIO stack

EmbWise has ported its Linux SDIO stack to a video-oriented Texas Instruments (TI) system-on-chip (SoC) processor and development board. SDIOWorx is now available on royalty-free terms for TI's daVinci DM6446 processor and TI Japan's DM350 reference design, according to the company.

Wind River has joined the Texas Instruments (TI) third-party ecosystem, and will collaborate with TI's Dallas-based mobile handset division on advanced Linux and hardware/software tools support for TI's ARM11-based OMAP2430 smartphone processor. The partnership could also produce a Linux-based mobile phone reference design, according to Wind River.

Linux First? (at Texas Instruments)

Texas Instruments (TI) had one operating system at the top if its list when it put together support for DaVinci, its latest dual-core ARM/DSP OMAP line--MontaVista's Linux. In fact, TI took this support a step further by eliminating the need for many developers to program the DSP directly using tools such as TI's Code Composer Studio. Instead, ARM-based Linux-device drivers implement features such as codecs and filters by loading the matching DSP code on the second processor core and setting up a link between it and the ARM core.

Digital video dev kits include embedded Linux

Texas Instruments will license and support MontaVista Linux directly, as part of a digital video development kit supporting its DaVinci RISC/DSP processors. TI's DaVinci Technology Development Kit (TDK) for digital video applications will also include software integration and system visualization technology, and is expected to ship in Q3. It targets IP-set top boxes, video phones, video security systems, and other advanced digital video applications.
