Regarding "Setting Up the Build/Development Environment" I find that the command "source /.bashrc" should NOT have the slash. It should be "source .bashrc" in order to reference the file you just edited.

...that is, when /home/<useracct> is your working directory. Otherwise, I guess it should be "source /home/<useracct>/.bashrc". I don't thik it should ever be "source /.bashrc".

Regarding "Building the DVSDK Software for the Target" step 3, the link to find mkimage is a dead end. Having installed Ubuntu 10.04, I simply took a stab at running "mkimage" from terminal. It informed me that I could install it by running "sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage". Evidently Ubuntu now includes mkimage. Crisis avoided.

The instruction "NOTE: dsplink_arm needs to be built each time after building the linux kernel. Users can skip the above step if done once." makes no sense. Can someone please revise it. As I read it, it says "you have to do it every time but only have to do it once". This is self contradictory.

Step 7 of “Building the DVSDK Software for the Target“: the make install step fails for me with the following message install: cannot change permissions of `/home/tom/workdir/filesys/opt/dvsdk/dm6467': Operation not permitted make[2]: *** [install_decode] Error 1 make[1]: *** [decode/.install] Error 2

Executing with root privileges seems to work: sudo make install
