  • Great work on the book, I think this makes a great integration and getting started guide for the OMAP and Davinci processors. I stickied this post for a couple weeks to help get the word out.

    When clicking on the link for oder , I can not get any reply.
    Is the book still available now ?

     

  • I just tried and it loaded up for me, it may have been down temporarily, I believe the book is still available though there may be a long delivery time due to popularity. You may want to try again, it should go through a my.ti log in page and than verify your information.

  • Is there a pdf version of the book somewhere?

    Unfortunately there is not, this is limited by the arrangement with the publisher. I believe that there are some plans to get an eBook version however I do not know if/when that will ever happen.

  • Hi Bernie Thompson.

    Still bad news....

    When I click  " Order your book now! (Available only while supplies last.) " on the bottom of the page, I get the following message.

  • May it is too late for me to know this dummy book.

    The order link for my region is broken ?!

    Is there anyone who has the copy? and what is a copy ? a p-book or a e-book??

    Grateful for reply.     mail to: whopole#gmail.com

  • link is still working over in our region; my understanding is that the link never worked in certain regions due to government regulatory laww; you can always contact your local support team www.ti.com/support and they should be able to help you if the site is blocked in your region.

  • Thanks for your helpful reply.

  • Hello Sir,

    I am starting my work on davinci processor (DM369) now.

    As i am new to this processor.it will be helpful if i get a copy of this book either a pdf or a link .When i go to the provided link its redirecting to somewhere else.

    Can u provide the right link?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Sanath Rai

  • To be candid, I suggest looking at a newer processor like the AM5708.  It is more capable (in general) than the DM369 and the software is being actively maintained as part of Processor SDK Linux.

    I did some searching online and found some books for sale on this site:

    http://www.addall.com/New/Partner.cgi?query=9780470395226&type=ISBN

    I've not shopped from that site before, so I'm not necessarily endorsing it.  However, if you really want the book, that was the only place I saw it available.  We cannot provide a pdf of the book due to publishing agreements.
