The Digital Video Software Development Kit (DVSDK) is a software development kit designed to tune complex DaVinci-based digital video systems quickly and efficiently. The DVSDK significantly improves software integration and system visibility by incorporating tools such as the eXpressDSP™ Configuration Kit, TMS320DM644x SoC Visual Analyzer and MontaVista’s Linux.

The DVSDK requires a target platform for DM644x processors and should be used in conjunction with the Digital Video Evaluation Module (DVEVM). Review the DVSDK product bulletin

• Digital Video Software Development Kit with MontaVista Pro Linux (TMDSSDK6446-L)
• This version of the DVSDK is ideal for developers that just need MontaVista Linux or our DSP customers that already have CCS and as emulator


• Digital Video Software Development Bundle with MontaVista Pro Linux, Code Composer Studio and XDS560 Emulator (TMDSSDK6446-3L).
• This version of the DVSDK is for DSP+ARM developers that need Code Composer Studio™, an Emulator and MontaVista Linux.

• eXpressDSP(tm) Configuration Kit: The configuration kit allows system integrators to incorporate discrete software modules and combine them into a single executable output for the systems, avoiding months of tedious manual integration. By making it easy to create custom bundles of codecs for specific applications, the configuration kit makes it simple to reuse code. The configuration kit integrates:
• TI’s video, imaging, speech and audio codecs
• Custom codecs that comply with TI’s eXpressDSP™ Digital Media (xDM) algorithm standard
• TI’s codec engine framework
• DSP/BIOS™ real-time kernel
• TI’s DSP/BIOS Link inter-processor communication technology


• TMS320DM644x SoC Analyzer is a single graphical interface tool that provides complete system visibility enabling developers to identify bottlenecks that were previously impossible to identify. This tool is minimally invasive and aids in analyzing and identifying problems by capturing and graphically displaying:
• system interaction
• load distribution
• bottlenecks in data throughput
• and other types of behavior

As the tasks run on both the DSP and ARM cores of the TMS320DM644x processors, the analyzer captures and displays the data on a single timeline. This provides a complete system view of the application and eliminates the tedious process of manually collecting and comparing data on each core before optimization begins.

• MontaVista’s Linux Operating System (OS) is a proven, system-tested Linux support package optimized for digital video applications and the TMS320DM644x processors. Included in the support package is:
• License and support for the MontaVista kernel and DevRocket integrated development environment directly from TI, giving access to the industry’s vast store of Linux-based resources
• GCC ARM tool chain components
• The latest thread library support with POSIX compliance
• Access for one year to the MontaVista Zone to download the newest device support libraries, updates and enhancements as they become available with each license
