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.
