    I do not believe we recommend any GIT kernel version to be compatible with our DVSDKs at the moment.  However, we are moving in that direction.  In the near future, we will be producing DVSDK based on GIT kernel.  As with previous DVSDKs, we will pull a certain version of the kernel (from GIT in the near future) among various other software components to ensure compatibilty.  However, the DVSDKs that are out there at the moment, are based on MontaVista (as opposed to GIT) kernel, which can be quite different from GIT; thus we are not openly recommending a GIT kernel as compatible with out current DVSDKs.

    Dear Juan, could you please tell me when (if ever) there will be a "DVSDK based on GIT kernel" for the DM6446 ?

    For other devices we are now at DVSDK 4.02, whereas it TI seems to have stopped any SW development for the DM6446 since November 2009 (the DVSDK_2_00 2_00_00_22 being the latest). Will there be no further DVSDK releases for the DM6446 ? Is the DM6446 going to be phased out ?  

    For us this information is extremely important. We have designed a product with the DM6446 which is now at its first prototype. As the Linux with the  DVSDK_2_00 was really too old, our industrial partner decided to use community based (Arago) Linux. We have thus switched to an (unsupported) configuration with "DaVinci PSP 03.01.00.37" (Linux kernel version 2.6.32-rc1 and CodeSourcery GNU Toolchain 2009q1-203), as well as latest DVSDK components. Everything works fine, but we where hoping that there would be an official release soon. Any information you could give us on this is gratly appreciated.

    Thanks and best regards,

    Sara
