The real difference is the toolchain.

Yes, I have to choose.

I'll check "legal limitations/requirements" .
Also I have to check if packages PREFERRED_VERSION are good for my purposes.

Yes.
I'll try to go on with both for some weeks.
But, first of all, I need a dvsdk running on dm365 with Arago.
By now, I can't build any ti recipe for dm365 in Arago (arago-next).
I could build dvsdk externally following the readme, but I think it is
better to re-use you work.
Which are the recipes that I can build for dm365?
In case of problem I, and my team, will contribute to the work.

For Koen:
Instead, for OE environment, I have some problems creating the setup.
I supposed to use dev branch (openembedded.org setup instructions) and I'd
like a local.conf file in order to know which angstrom version is better to
choose.
