OMAP35x Applications Processors

The new OMAP™ platform is based on the ARM® Cortex™-A8 core to provide an unprecedented combination of laptop-like performance at handheld power levels in a single chip. With more than four times the processing power of today’s 300MHz ARM9 devices, the superscalar 600MHz Cortex-A8 core is integrated into four new OMAP35x applications processors. Customers can start designing today with the OMAP35x Evaluation Module.

OMAP35x high-performance, applications processors are based on the enhanced OMAP™ 3 architecture. The OMAP™ 3 architecture is designed to provide best-in-class video, image, and graphics processing sufficient to support the following:

• Streaming video
• 2D/3D mobile gaming
• Video conferencing
• High-resolution still image
• Video capture in 2.5G wireless terminals, 3G wireless terminals, rich multimedia-featured handsets, and high performance personal digital assistants (PDAs)

USB-Powered Beagle Board delivers laptop-like performance and expansion.

• Based on OMAP3530 processor featuring ARM® Cortex™-A8
• High-speed USB 2.0 OTG port for use as power source or expansion
• Flexible expansion through USB and standard PC peripherals
• Access to active and growing community development
