Overview
The OMAP5910 is a highly integrated hardware and software platform
designed to meet the application processing needs of next-generation
embedded devices.
The OMAP5910 processor features a unique dual-core architecture that com-
bines the command and control capabilities of the TI-enhanced ARM
TM
925
processor (TI925T) with the high-performance and low-power capabilities of
the TMS320C55x
TM
DSP core. These two key components of the OMAP5910
processor are:
-
A TI reduced instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessor unit (MPU)
subsystem. The MPU subsystem is based on the TI925T control proces-
sor, peripherals, and other components. The TI925T processor is based
on the Advanced RISC Machines ARM9TDMI technology.
-
A TI digital signal processor (DSP) subsystem. The DSP subsystem
incorporates a TI TMS320C55x DSP, peripherals, and other components.
The OMAP5910 processor is available in the small 289-pin MicroStar
TM
BGA
package (12 x 12 mm).
