Stephen, The package was built for the latest Montavista kernel on the DM6446 DVEVM. Some additional work may be needed to port this to the latest community open source Linux kernel for DaVinci. Which OS version are you using?
Thanks for pointing out the difference in the filename - I'll rename the file back to gstreamer_tibuild.tar.gz to be consistent with the docs. We'll also have a plain text or HTML doc up shortly on the Z3 Technology site. They are getting their CVS / GIT ready.

Of course it didn't compile - the glibc configure failed with: checking for growing stack pointer... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling And the package gstreamer_tibuild.tar.gz wasn't on the web site for download. Anyone else have a problem building this?

Several TI business units and engineering teams have been working with Gstreamer as a foundation for application demos and other project work; we want to make that port available to the open source community to enable development and innovation on the DaVinci platform. The completed port for the DaVinci DM6446 DVEVM is available at http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspsplash.tsp?contentId=3100 and at http://linux.davincidsp.com <http://linux.davincidsp.com/> under the 'downloads' link. This Gstreamer port can be used with TI codecs, 3rd party codecs, or your own xDM / xDAIS compliant codecs. A companion package of TI digital media software decoders (licensable object code) is provided along with the Gstreamer open source release; the companion package includes codec engine, and some codec servers supporting video and audio decoding. An application note accompanies the download, and describes the build process and developer entry points. We encourage the use of this framework for projects on the DaVinci-based devices. The download site describes the maintainer for this project, Z3 technologies. Z3 will be hosting the project under GIT version control within the next few weeks. The website above will contain a quarterly snapshot of the project at it evolves. The following group of TI developers contributed their efforts to porting the Gstreamer project to DaVinci for this release: Rishi Bhattacharya (original port) Vasant Kumar Easwaran (Complete revamp and bugfixes, port on Davinci) Pratheesh Gangadhar (Complete revamp and bugfixes + plugins, ports) Yashwant Vijaykumar (Complete revamp and bugfixes + plugins, ports) Prateek Bansal and Isara Indra (port to Montavista Linux, addition of cross-compile functionality, final integration, development of app note) We would also like to thank the community of developers at (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) for creating such a powerful and flexible AV framework; it has been a big benefit for the DaVinci platform in serving key end applications like cameras and set top boxes. I hope that many of you in the community of DaVinci Linux users will be able to make use of this port and contribute back to the Gstreamer project as a whole. TI has recognized the value of open source projects such as this one for DaVinci and other TI platforms, and you can expect to see some new releases to the community in the coming months. I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions regarding future projects.
