The RVP-TDA4Vx Development Kit’s base support package also provides optimized and verified hardware and software to use as a known-good launch point for design and development. In addition, this Development Kit includes a single-use sublicense for all Texas Instruments and D3 Engineering firmware and application code.
VOUT provides an FPD-Link III high-speed data video output; for more information about the VOUT port, contact D3. For detailed connector pinouts and additional hardware information, see D3 Engineering Document No. 00C-254 DesignCore® RVP-TDA4Vx Reference Design Technical Reference Manual, provided with shipment.
3.0 Configuring Your PC Windows D3 Engineering recommends using a Linux PC to develop with this platform; however, you can interact with the RVP-TDA4Vx via a console on a Windows PC. You will need to install drivers and set up a serial console on your PC to interface with the RVP-TDA4Vx Development Kit.
