Hello, Helps are needed

Hi, guys
nice to join you, I’m quite new in this area, with a omap3530mini board, which is almost a copy of beagleboard with only tiny differences.
I got quite a few questions and want to get started with the evm asap.

what i have here is:
ICETEK omap3530mini board promoted by ti…
tds560pci emulator
ccs3.3
ubuntu linux by VBox in windows xp.
angstrom demo on board.

the OS environment is already set up.
my project is to make a encoder for h26x: encode raw video in SD card and store back in.

the 560emu. is old and with no omap3530mini driver which means I don’t find the exact board info. in CCS Setup. and the board company seems not to provide any softwares in DSP(no board driver for CCS, no gel docs). What I should do to setup the debug env. in CCS for it?

Normally, if your project needs both arm and dsp, with what tools and under which OS do you develop?

Can anybody show me any development steps and tools to be used? anybody has a software dev. demo?

Many thanks.

this might help you figure.

I suggest you look at http://gstreamer.ti.com, the latest Angstrom
demo with GStreamer integrated, and the gst-openmax software using DSP
Bridge mentioned on this mailing list. They are 2 different solutions
(Bridge and Link) and you should pick whatever works easiest for you.
Your local TI support may be more familiar with one or the other.

the 560emu. is old and with no omap3530mini driver which means I don't
find the exact board info. in CCS Setup. and the board company seems not to
provide any softwares in DSP(no board driver for CCS, no gel docs). What I
should do to setup the debug env. in CCS for it?

You should be able to use the same setup as for the OMAP35x EVM using
the NAND (not OneNAND) config.

Normally, if your project needs both arm and dsp, with what tools and
under which OS do you develop?

Lauterbach is very popular. For both ARM and DSP debug, CCS is
common, but CCS does not debug well under Linux on the ARM.

Can anybody show me any development steps and tools to be used? anybody
has a software dev. demo?
