Introduction
The Vision Apps package consists of ADAS, vision, deep learning, perception demos/applications for Jacinto 7 platform
To run the demos in vision apps, the companion Processor SDK Linux for Jacinto 7 also needs to be downloaded separately.
Licensing
Refer to Processor SDK RTOS manifest at top level [HTML]
Getting Started
The Vision Apps User Guide [HTML] provides the documentation and references necessary to begin development on TI's platforms using Vision Apps.

Package Versioning
Each package version is composed of 4 period-delimited numbers - represented here by the letters M, m, p and b [M.m.p.b]. The table below provides a descriptive reference regarding package version numbering.
| Digit | Meaning | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (M=Major) | Major revision | Incremented when the new version is substantially different from the previous For example, a new module added or an existing module's algorithm significantly altered. |
| 2 (m=minor) | Minor revision | Incremented when the new version has changed but not in a major way. For example, some minor changes in the API or feature set. |
| 3 (p=patch) | Patch number | Incremented for all other source code changes. This include any packaging support code. |
| 4 (b=build) | Build number | Incremented for each release delivery to CM. Reset for any change to M, m or p |
