The Embest DevKit8500D (DM3730 processor) and DevKit8500A (AM3715 processor) Evaluation Boards utilize the full features of the DM3730/AM3715 processors and support up to 512MByte DDR SDRAM and 512MByte NAND Flash as well as a reserved iNAND design to expand the Flash storage capabilities. The board has exposed many other hardware interfaces including serial ports, LCD/TSP, DVI-D, S-Video, Ethernet, USB, microSD, keyboard, camera, SPI, I2C and JTAG. The board is able to support Linux 2.6.32 and WinCE 6.0 operating systems. It has two methods to boot Linux and WinCE systems: from either TF card or NAND Flash. In addition, it is provided with a demo of Android 2.2 with driver source code. Instructions are included on how to boot the Android demo image from NAND Flash with a microSD card.

Development Kit Version

The Texas Instruments DM3730 DaVinci digital media processor features both an ARM Cortex-A8 CPU capable of up to 1 GHz operation and a C64x+ DSP core capable of up to 800 MHz operation. It also has an integrated 3D graphics processor, imaging and video accelerator (IVA), USB 2.0, MMC/SD memory card, UART and much more. The DaVinci DM3730 video processor is pin-to-pin compatible with Sitara AM37x devices and software compatible with the OMAP35x processors. The C64x+ DSP and hardware video accelerator enables audio and HD 720p video decoding and encoding independent of the ARM processor. The programmable DSP engine allows multiple signal-processing tasks such as image processing and analysis, digital filtering, and math functions. The DaVinci DM3730 video processor is suitable for 720p HD (High Definition) video applications which require a large amount of data processing.
