OMAP development platform for medical devices

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730, AM3715

Hi, 

we have to develop a medical device which is not life critical , but is class II and therefore has considerable reliability requirements. 

There are some platforms very attractive , like BeagleBoard and some others , which are  low cost , powerful and with very rich connectivity. 

Is there anyone who reads this forum , which has experienced the use of any of these platforms for some medical application, or any kind of application that requires a considerable level of reliability ? 

which development platform is suitable for this kind of application ? Originally i was thinking about the use af Android, which in spite of being new and having some complexity, seems stable; but by reading forums and reviews on the Internet,it seems that  the opinions are conflicting. 

The central question is not about real time, because we will use a dedicated board with a microcontroller for low level tasks with real time requirements; so, the focus is about reliability.

    Hi,

    If your product has any Video requirement of 1080p Decode then DM814x device is good, for 720p Decode use DM3730.

    if your device has no Video requirements then Sitara devices are good enough. AM3715  or AM335x is good for UI.

    Regarding OS / distribution: You have a choice of Linux + QT or Android, in my opinion both are reliable and stable.

    TI has dedicated Android DevKit and we support large set of customer base in areas like Portable Navigation, Portable Data Terminals, POS, Education Tablets, etc.

    Refer to www.ti.com/sitara-android for more details, you can also refer to test reports and performance benchmark results on these release pages to confirm the reliability and stability of the system.

    For any questions we are available for support on e2e.

    Let us know if you need any further inputs.

    Regards,
