Texas Instruments: TMDSEVM3530 - Evaluation Module for OMAP35x Family

Kit Overview

The TMDSEVM3530 Evaluation Module (EVM) enables developers to immediately start evaluating OMAP35x processors (OMAP3530 , OMAP3525 , OMAP3515 , OMAP3503 ) and begin building low power applications such as portable media players, navigation devices, handheld game consoles, single board computers, data terminals, point of sale/service, software defined radio, medical applications, media controllers and numerous other products requiring low power and high performance.

The OMAP 3 architecture is designed to provide best-in-class video, image, and graphics processing sufficient to support the following: Streaming video, 3D mobile gaming, Video conferencing, High-resolution still image. OMAP device includes state-of-the-art power-management techniques required for high-performance mobile products.

The following subsystems are part of the device - Microprocessor unit (MPU) subsystem based on the ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessor, POWERVR SGX subsystem for 3D graphics acceleration to support display and gaming effects (OMAP3515 only) , Camera image signal processor (ISP) that supports multiple formats and interfacing options connected to a wide variety of image sensors , Display subsystem with a wide variety of features for multiple concurrent image manipulation, and a programmable interface supporting a wide variety of displays. The display subsystem also supports NTSC/PAL video out, Level 3 (L3) and level 4 (L4) interconnects that provide high-bandwidth data transfers for multiple initiators to the internal and external memory controllers and to on-chip peripheral.

Key Applications: Industrial Automation,Human Machine Interface (HMI),Single-Board Computing,Network Attached Storage (NAS),Network Printing.
