| The Sheldon Instruments SI-DDK-TI-LNX is source code used to create Linux drivers (files in the form of modules). The Linux driver paradigm will allow for a single driver to support all current and future versions of Linux starting with version 2.4.19 and beyond. The provided API is identical as that implemented for the Windows based SI-DDKs facilitating minimal cross platform development time.
The device driver is written so as to access all TI DM64x devices as memory mapped PCI peripherals in target mode, with additional support for bus master transfers using DMA with the DM6467/648 devices. The source code for this driver is intended to be used as a model of how to write device drivers for Linux, saving you precious time while giving you actual and comprehensive control of your software development, while simultaneously maintaining absolute GPL compliance. For convenience, additional source code is provided for creating application examples in the form of a command line executable, as well as shared objects, illustrating how to make driver function calls. Their common API with Windows facilitates code maintenence along with the use of any C/C++ compiler for application development.
