Application Development
Applications make use of both the board services tools and the media processing APIs.
The board support tools are required to manage the setup and operation of the board,
including bringing DSPs out of reset. The media processing application development software
environment is provided by the Octasic Vocallo MGW SDK package.
During normal operation, it is also important to monitor the board temperature sensors using
the board support tools in case of problems with the airflow.
