Hi Ivan,

The DM355 is powerful enough to play H.264, using TI codecs with his acceleration engine (which does the heavy duty). With ARM side audio decoders initial tests show around 30% cpu usage (MP3 fixed point decoder).

We have most of the drivers ported to 2.6.22 (close enough for main tree). And the beta code will be available for download soon (hopefully tomorrow).

We also are offering beta reference designs based on it, and some other software stacks (GUI, networking, multimedia).

Hi Thom,

Do you think this low cost DaVinci unit will be powerful enough to play
H.264 video?

Dirk,

This is indeed a low cost DaVinci processor.

The DM355 DVEVM (board + dvsdk + 'demonstration version' of montavista
pro v4.0 + beta 2.6.10 lsp) cost is $495 so we'll have a lower cost
option to help build the community.

The flow will be as follows: beta 2.6.10 MV LSP -> production 2.6.10
MV LSP -> driver up-port to git.   The driver up-port will go a lot
quicker if we can get some help from the community. I see this up-port
activity starting in a couple of months.

Don't know if this is really new but I just found

dm355&HQS=Other+RA+dm355prbox

Seems to be low cost DaVinci processors without DSP (?).
