DaVinci/OMAP/Sitara Linux Workshop (version 2.10) ------------------------------------------------- The VMware image for this workshop consists of three parts, similar to previous releases. Part 1: Parent Image (~16GB) - The parent image has changed for version 2.10. - This is required for the workshop to run. Part 2: Child (i.e. Linked) Image (~300MB) - Changes for each minor revision of the workshop. - This part is not absolutely required for revision 2.10 of the workshop. - This part is used to simplify setup of of TTO USA classroom desktop computers. We don't use it for TTO USA notebook computers. Part 3: Lab files - This folder is shared between the Linux virtual machine and windows. - This folder contains all the take-home files for the student (along with anything else they want to copy into the folder). - This folder should be located on the student workstation at: C:\vmimages\shared *** 2010.08.09 *** Production revision v2.10 - VMware image now runs on Ubuntu 10.04 (rather than Red Hat Enterprise 5) - Previous known errors have been fixed: Lab07a Gimp, Lab10 CMEM - Previous unknown errors have been fixed, most notebly that Lab12d had a minor error. - Lab07a: Gimp now outputs RGB565 format, so we don't need to run the extra conversion utility anymore. *** 2010.02.24 *** Production revision of v2.00. - Watermarked codecs have been extracted, put into the same repository, then re-tar'd. Also, the missing package (called adaptor) has been included in the watermarked codecs repository. - Known Errata -- GIMP in Lab07a does not exist in Red Hat 5. The lab directions note that for the time being, you should just use the bitmapped file (davinci.bmp) found in the solutions folder. -- In lab 10, the directions state you should get an error when you remove the CMEM path from the XDCPATH environment variable. Thing is, it doesn't break. That is because CMEM is currently found in a repository shared by other packages: $(CODEC_ENGINE_DIR)/CETOOLS. Due to an error in the DVSDK 2.0 release, we overinstalled the stand-alone release of CE to add-in the missing Linux utils, which installs a number of packages at the CETOOLS repository.
