The OMAP5912 starter kit (OSK) for portable data terminals (PDT) is an easy to use, convenient way of evaluating the features of the OMAP5912 processor in next generation PDT devices, and allows users to get started on a portable data terminal-based application, says the manufacturer, Texas Instruments. The kit includes a development board, and a collection of board and chip-specific libraries as well as a suite of development tools for Linux with an OMAP5912 specific Linux kernel.
The OSK Module is designed on a multilayer printed circuit board using surface mount technology. It operates at +5 V and draws under 250 mA. The PCB measures 141 x 90 mm. The module has a TI and ARM Multi-ICE JTAG interface that allows communications to a host computer via a JTAG emulator or Multi-ICE. The TI JTAG interface is compatible with the XDS560 emulator from Texas Instruments and the complete line of JTAG emulators from Spectrum Digital. Software drivers for Spectrum Digital emulators to operate with TI's Code Composer Studio are provided with their emulators. In addition, updated drivers are available from the Spectrum Digital website.
The Board Support Library (BSL) provides a C-language interface for configuring and controlling all on-board devices. The library consists of discrete modules that are built and archived into a library file. Each module represents an individual application program interface (API). The module granularity is structured so each device is implemented in an individual API module. The goal of the BSL is to provide a level of hardware abstraction and software standardisation that improves development time and portability.
Both the ARM9 core and DSP core operate at 192 MHz. The board has an RS232 Serial Port, 10 Mbps Ethernet port, USB Host Port and Compact flash connector.
