Technical details

The OMAP-L138 development kit is based

on the OMAP-L138 DSP+ARM9 processor, a

low-power applications processor based on

an ARM926EJ-S and a TMS320C674x DSP

core. It provides significantly lower power

than other members of the TMS320C6000™

platform of DSPs. The OMAP-L138 processor

enables developers to quickly design and

develop devices featuring robust operating

systems support and rich user interfaces with

a fully integrated mixed-processor solution. The

dual-core architecture of the device provides

benefits of both DSP and Reduced Instruction

Set Computer (RISC) technologies, enabling

applications requiring a high-level operating

system and more intensive digital signal

processing.

With a wide variety of standard interfaces

for connectivity and storage, the OMAP-L138

development kit enables developers to easily

bring audio, video and other signals onto the

board. Expansion headers allow customers to

extend the functionality of the kit to include a

camera sensor from Leopard Imaging or an

LCD screen. Included interfaces are:

• USB serial port

• Fast Ethernet port (10/100 Mbps)

• USB host port (USB 1.1)

• USB OTG port (USB 2.0)

• SATA port (3 Gbps)

• VGA port (15-pin D-SUB)

• LCD port (Beagleboard-XM connectors)

• 3 audio ports

• 1 line in

• 1 line out

• 1 MIC in

• Composite in (RCA jack)

• Leopard Imaging camera sensor input (32-

pin ZIP connector)

• Authentic fingerprint sensor

Easy to write and optimize

DSP code

Designers can readily target the OMAP-L138

processor through TI’s robust and compre-

hensive Code Composer Studio IDE. CCStudio

IDE includes an efficient optimizing C/C++

compiler assembler, linker, debugger;

Development Kit

Low-cost development kit to jump-start real-time signal

processing innovation

Texas Instruments’ OMAP-L138 development kit is a new, robust low-cost development board designed to spark innovative designs based on the

OMAP-L138 processor. Along with TI’s new included Linux™ Software Development Kit (SDK), the OMAP-L138 development kit is ideal for power-

optimized, networked applications including industrial control, medical diagnostics and communications. It includes the OMAP-L138 baseboard, SD

cards with a Linux demo, DSP/BIOS™ kernel and SDK, and Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio) Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a power

supply and cord, VGA cable and USB cable.
