Hi,

Are there any books, or information resources on the TI Da Vinci DM355.

On topics like application development, and guides for begginners ?

    Saadia,

    The hardware specific portion in developing with DM355 is found at the kernel level drivers.  At the application level, you program this as you would a typical Linux project, which can use libraries such as codec engine...

    Our driver comply with Linux standardized APIs for the most part and hardware features for which standardized APIs do not exists yet (e.g. resizer) are documented under PSP_XX_XX_XX_XX directory.  Additionally, codec engine APIs are documented in codec_engine_xx_xx_xx_xx directory.  Both of these directories are under dvsdk root directory.  The user level Linux application simply makes use of these APIs and programs as it would a standard Linux application.  We even provide examples with source code in codec engine and demos directories to serve as reference code.

    In conclusion, I am afraid I do not know of any books on application programming on DM355, but there are plenty of Linux programming books that should be helpful.  We do provide the DM355 specific software information thru various documents included in the DVSDK.  If you are struggling with an specific area, please let us know as we often write wiki articles on our davinci wiki site (http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=Main_Page) to address to most common issues customers run into.
