I recently purchased the Smart Grid Eval Module. Unfortunately, the DVSDK (dvsdk_omapl138-evm_04_03_00_06_setuplinux) wont install. A computer dedicated to the project was loaded with the recommended Linux from Ubuntu (10.04 LTS). The first problem was an application called "fakeroot" was not available. After several automatic updates (or????) the fakeroot utility was found and the installer began to run.
The second problem was that the installer eventually failed to find/download quite a few files or packages, which is where the project is currently stuck at.
The next problem that will be encountered is the instruction to "export DVSDK=${HOME}/ti-dvsdk_omapl138-evm-xx....". The defaults for the installer were all accepted, but the location was somewhere in /usr/local....... and not my account's Home directory. So just what environment variable needs to be exported? The installer did get some files installed in the /usr/local...... location.
To cut to the chase: What is the best way to get the DVSDK to load and run?
A bigger question is what are the different ways to develop for the OMAP L138 with the ARM9 + DSP? The project at hand involves lots of data acquisition, lots of signal processing (FFT's, wavelets, correlations) as well as delivering refined data via TCP network to a Windows/Linux application where the data will be displayed. Linux running on the ARM9 is fine, but are there other simpler RTOSs or operating systems? What is the easiest way to program/debug the DSP code?
The quickest route to developing custom code is needed. Money though tightly held can be made available for purchasing productive tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
