Without linux?

Is there any other platform/OS for DM355 besides Linux? My application does not use Ethernet, TCP/IP, network. All I need is JPEG / MPEG compression and a scheduler to run parallel tasks. The files would be extracted using RS232. I though about switching to some other RTOS (like FreeRTOS or any other small embedded RTOS). My understanding is that MPEG/JPEG coprocessor does not care what OS is used. All it would do is take some data from one memory location, do its magic, and put the result into a different memory location.

This is what it says about the OS in An Overview of TI's Digital Video Software Development Kit:

Operating system diversity. Supporting different operating systems (OSs) is not just a matter of porting and reuse strategies. From a product perspective, it’s also important to make our software adapt to the development environment specific to that OS.

Has anybody tried anything other than Linux?

Thank you.

Gennadiy,

MPC Data has a WinCE port on DM355 available today. I just had a quick glance at MPC Data's website (http://www.mpc-data.co.uk/board-support-packages-products-windows-embedded/) to verify, and it seems that they have a free eval version that you can try out as well.

I hope this helps and gives you a good place to start.

Regards,

Sonia

Sonia, thank you for the link. I will take a look at it. However, I am afraid it will still be an oversized Rube Goldberg machine calling an encoder. Is there any documentation (even through NDA) that can show how to call en/decoder from (for example) a bootloader? Any documentation on how to port encoder/decoder call functions to an arbitrary operating system?

Thanks

I have just been through the process of porting some codecs and portions of the DVSDK to a non-Linux (RTOS) platform. I could find no documentation or guidance on how to approach this, so I made a few notes on how I went about it:

DaVinci Codecs with RTOS

I realise this is an old thread but thought these notes be helpful to people coming here with the same question.
