==== DIVELK software components ====
Dave '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' adds to the latest EZSDK from Texas Instruments the customization required to support the Diva platform. For this reason most of the documentation provided by TI remains valid for the DIVELK development kit. However, some customization is required, in particular at bootloader and linux kernel levels.
The following table shows how DIVELK releases are related to EZSDK releases.
* Boot disk with pre-installed Ubuntu Linux 12.04.2 LTS and pre-configured basic Linux services (TFTP, NFS, ...)
* Secondary disk containing source code and tools:
** Bootloader (u-boot) source tree cloned from '''DAVEEmbedded Systems'''s public git repository ** Linux kernel source tree cloned from '''DAVEEmbedded Systems'''s public git repository
** Pre-installed AM335x EZSDK with setup scripts, makefiles, example applications, ...
** Toolchain
==== Updating git repositories ====
In DIVELK, the following source trees are clones of '''DAVEEmbedded Systems'''s public git repositories:

This means that these components can be kept in sync and up to date with '''DAVEEmbedded Systems'''s repositories.
==== RSA key generation ====
=== DVDK ===
Dave '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' Virtual Development Kit is a virtual machine, based on Oracle VirtualBox that allows developers to start using Dave's ''DAVE Embedded Systems'''' platform without wasting time in installing the development environment. The Virtual Machine comes with all the development tools and source code, pre-configured, and requires only a minimal setup by the end user (usually only to adapt network interface to the user environment).
DVDK can also be converted, easily, into a physical environment, for example to increase speed on slower machines.
Please refer to [http://wiki.dave.eu/index.php/Category:DVDK DVDK page on Dave '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' Developer's Wiki] for further information on DVDK.
