Texas Instruments&ARM: OMAP Workshop
Be among the first to get an in-depth training on Industry’s First Architecture based on the ARM®Cortex™-A8 Processor
More intuitive user interfaces, advanced graphics and the ability to connect all devices to the Internet - Texas Instruments’ OMAP™ processors, based on the market's first broad offering of the ARM® CortexTM-A8 core, provide an unprecedented combination of high performance embedded processing at industry's best performance/power ratio in a single chip.
With more than four times the processing capability of today's 300 MHz ARM9 devices, the superscalar Cortex-A8 core runs up to 600 MHz and is integrated into four new OMAP35xTM applications processors for a wide range of possible applications, including portable infotainment and industrial devices, points of sale, digital signage and low-power medical devices.
