Preface

About This Guide

The DVEVM (Digital Video Evaluation Module) is an evaluation platform that showcases the DaVinci architecture and lets users evaluate the power and performance of DaVinci as a Multimedia engine.

This guide gives you overview information about the board and the software provided with the board. It is intended to be used as an introductory document for the DVEVM. Other documents provide more in-depth information. See the DVEVM documentation section of the release notes for a complete list of documents that have been included with the product.

Notational Conventions

This document uses the following conventions:

❏Program listings, program examples, and interactive displays are shown in a mono-spaced font. Examples use bold for emphasis, and interactive displays use bold to distinguish commands that you enter from items that the system displays (such as prompts, command output, error messages, etc.).

❏Square brackets ( [ and ] ) identify an optional parameter. If you use an optional parameter, you specify the information within the brackets. Unless the square brackets are in a bold typeface, do not enter the brackets themselves.
