LEOs®

Empower Development Kit for DaVinci™ from TI

Empower Development Kit (EDK) 6446 comes with the latest Empower Technologies’ Linux Embedded OS (LEOs) for DM6446 operating software. The target hardware development platform includes a SBC board with a TI DaVinci TMS320DM6446 processor and a 4.3” WQVGA (480 x 272) landscape TFT LCD touch panel, ready for 16:9 widescreen movie presentations. The software and hardware are designed to run on DM6441, DM6443 and DM6446.

EDK6446 and LEOs for DM6446 product family are made specifically for media devices in the mobile, set-top-box, and telematic applications. The video processing power enabled by the video/imaging coprocessor and the C64x+ DSP core in the DM6446 is the most powerful feature of this new development platform. It provides major technical advantages in video/image/audio encoding/decoding, video analysis, image processing and sound processing. These technical advantages can be applied in the fields of networked IP security surveillance systems, wired/wireless networked digital media streaming systems, automobile infotainment systems, portable navigation multimedia devices, and videophones.

LEOs for EDK6446 will allow you to more easily and quickly develop digital media applications. Application code can be written, with easy access via LEOs APIs to the C64x+ DSP core. No detailed DSP knowledge is required to access DSP functions.
