Re: [Gumstix-users] Hi all. Need advice on using Gumstix DuoVero for Image processing.

[William B. <wil...@gm...>]

Good luck. The hardware itself is great, but the software support is lacking. As it stands, all provided system images lack support for the SGX540 PowerVR, the DSP, the ISS, et cetera.

I am currently using the DuOvero for image acquisition and processing as well. The results are mediocre at best, and I don't believe the kernels available utilize the hardware available to them properly. For instance, compiling and running one program on the DuOvero and the PandaBoard yielded a 10x better performance on the PandaBoard (in terms of frames processed per second -- loaded from a video on identical model microSDs)

So basically, if you are looking for something that requires little work right out of the box, the DuOvero probably isn't what you're looking for.

Just my 2 cents.
