<h4>30th Oct 2010, CDAC Lecture theatre,Juhu, Mumbai.</h4>Visit: <a href="http://blog.bizmobiletech.com/" target="_blank">http://blog.bizmobiletech.com/</a><br>
<p>This workshop is jointly organised by<a href="http://www.bizmobiletech.com/" target="_blank"> Bizmobiletech</a> business entity-<a href="http://www.net4uonline.com/" target="_blank">Net4Uonline Pvt. ltd.</a> and <a href="http://www.cdacmumbai.in/" target="_blank">CDAC Mumbai </a>supported by <a href="http://www.ti.com/" target="_blank">Texas Instruments </a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Topics To be covered</h4>
<h5><font size="2">1.<u>Hardware And OS overview of BeagleBoard </u></font></h5>
<p>In this session attendees get an overview of the Beagle Board and its
OMAP3530 processor. Also, setting up the beagle board and building and
running various Embedded Linux distros. The session also gives an
overview of the Angstrom operating system, its architecture and major
features.<br>
This session looks at the open embedded Builder and how to use it to create operating system images and cross compiled packages.</p>
<h5>2.<u>Application / UI Development with BeagleBoard Using Clutter</u> </h5>
<p>This session will provide 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.</p>

<p><b>4.H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding Using Open Source COM
</b></p><p>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.</p>
<h5><font size="2">5.<u>Grid tied Solar PV application Using COM</u></font></h5>
<p>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.</p>
