Why do some distributions have a cetools directory and others don ?
The Codec Engine has (at least) two delivery channels – the standalone release (typically downloaded as a .tar.gz file), and the DVSDK products. The CE “standalone” release includes a large cetools/ directory. This cetools/ directory includes all the CE dependencies except BIOS, XDC Tools and Codegen. These dependencies may include, but are not limited to, Linux Utils, WinCE Utils, Framework Components, EDMA3 LLD, and XDAIS. The rationale for this large, standalone release, is that it enables the end customer to receive all the dependent, compatible packages in one large download – rather than forcing the user to find and download each dependency individually. You should be able to take the (big) standalone CE release – plus XDCtools, BIOS (if needed) and the appropriate Codegen tools – and build and run the examples. Note that the philosophy behind the cetools/ repository is to include only the packages needed by the examples and typical applications. It does not include full product
