Open Source COM-Beagle Board /HawkBoard workshop For Developers 30th Oct
2010, CDAC Lecture theatre,Juhu MumbaiVisit : http://blog.bizmobiletech.com/

This workshop will be jointly organised by Net4uonline Pvt.Ltd and CDAC
Mumbai supported by Texas Instruments .

The Core objective of the workshop is to meet and learn from the developers
of Open Source Computer On Module,improve your development skills with
in-depth sessions and training.
Topics To be covered 1.Hardware And OS overview of BeagleBoard

In this session attendees get an overview of the Beagle Board and its
OMAP3530 processor.Together with setting up the hardware and building and
running various Embedded Linux distros. The session also gives an overview
of the Angstrom operating system, its architecture and major features.
This session looks at the open embedded Builder and how to use it to create
operating system images and cross compiled packages.
2.Application / UI Development with BeagleBoard Using Clutter

This session will provides an overview of the software and hardware features
available on the OMAP 3 BeagleBoard platform relevant to consider when
creating 3D user interfaces, with a summary of Linuxʼs graphics software
stacks(integrated SGX hardware graphics accelerator), and an introduction to
creating user interfaces by using Clutter.
3.Hardware And OS overview of hawkBoard

4.H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding Using Open Source COM

H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding is an international standard for video
compression. The aim of the standard is to provide as good a video quality
at lower bandwidths. The standard has created a set of profiles like
Constrained Baseline Profile (CBP) for video conferencing and mobile
applications, Main profile (MP) for broadcast and storage applications etc.
While the encoding or producer functions can be expected to work on high
performance specialized equipment, the client side decoding needs cost
effective equipments like set top boxes in large numbers. While the
computationally intensive functions can be offloaded to special codecs and
DSPs, there are other aspects to be handled by a CoM.
5.Grid tied Solar PV application Using COM

Grid tie of SPV requires CoM. The important functions in the CoM are 1)
Inverter functions to convert DC to AC using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM),
Space Vector Modulation (SPV) and Maximum Power Point (MPP) tracking. 2) PV
generation monitoring and reporting system and 3) Smart grid related
protocol handling. Of these the inverter functions are required and the
other two are increasingly becoming important.
6.Android On beagleboard 7.Introduction to beagleboard XM and Panda Board
