The Open Multimedia Applications Platform (OMAP Architecture) from Texas Instruments is a family of image/video processors. The OMAP Architecture is based on dual-core ARM Cortex cores. It is complemented by a programmable multimedia engine based on the mini-C64x DSP, dual Cortex-M4 cores, and various other on-chip accelerators. The OMAP Architecture is ideal for applications that require high-performance processing, real-time time control, advanced graphics, and low power fan-less operations. OMAP5 is a series of proprietary system on chips (SoCs) ideal for portable and mobile multimedia applications.

OMAP5 based Designs

The OMAP Architecture uses a combination of TI’s state-of-the-art TMS320C55x™ DSP core and high performance ARM925T CPU. The OMAP Architecture based SoCs from Texas Instruments like AM57x or OMAP5 SoCs (AM5716, AM5718, AM5726, AM5728) are ideal platforms for designing the next generation of computer-intensive applications with advanced graphics capabilities. Product Engineering Services team has vast expertise in providing AM57x based Designs and other designs based on OMAP SoCs from Texas Instruments. Mistral’s AM57x based designs (OMAP5 based designs) include Hardware Design, BSP & Firmware, Application Development, Testing & Validation, Design for Manufacturability, Production Support and Product Lifecycle Support. Some of the targeted applications for the OMAP architecture include augmented reality, stereoscopic 3D, gesture recognition, machine vision, computational photography, secure wireless video streaming, multiple displays, and many other features.
