Farnell is offering an EPN reader the chance to win a bundled hardware and software solution that supports application development and PCB prototyping for high definition video applications that require intensive signal processing. Typical designs could include portable data terminals, navigation and infotainment systems, gaming consoles and human interfaces. The hardware platform is the ARM based DM3730 Development Kit which contains all the necessary tools and software for engineers to start their application design. The DM3730 features an ARM Cortex-A8 based DaVinci media processor that includes an embedded C64x DSP and graphics accelerator. The board supports high-level operating systems such as Linux, Win CE and Android. Versatility is further enhanced by a comprehensive set of hardware interfaces including serial ports, LCD/TSP, DVI-D, S-Video, Ethernet, USB, TF, keyboard, camera, SPI, I2C and JTAG. The bundled PCB design software is a professional license for the new CadSoft EAGLE V6.0 which provides a schematic editor, layout editor and autorouter in one single interface. This latest version of the popular CAD software allows fast and efficient schematic design, PCB layout, schematic capture and auto-routing. CadSoft EAGLE V6.0 has a resolution of 0.1 microns and allows up to 255 drawing layers.
