• Linux kernel sources

• Build system based on Yocto Dylan (1.4)

• Pre-built root file systems

• Technical documentation such hardware manuals, mechanical drawings, reference schematics,

application notes etc.

The documents related to the software issues help the user to quickly start configuring the bootloader and the

operating system, by hiding most of the complexity of the underlying hardware. For more details about Diva

hardware characteristics, please refer to the Diva Hardware Manual. An account for the reserved area of DAVE

Embedded Systems website is required to access the kit contents.

DAVE Embedded Systems adds to the latest EZSDK from Texas Instruments the customization required to support

the Diva platform. For this reason most of the documentation provided by TI remains valid for the DIVELK

development kit. However, some customization is implemented, in particular at bootloader and linux kernel levels.

• Added Yocto support (version 1.4 “Dylan”)

• Updated kernel (version 3.12.10) and u-boot (version 2013.10)
