OMAP4430 / OMAP4460 current software support status?

Hi,

I am planning to order OMAP4430 or OMAP4460 based development boards. Before doing that I would like to get idea about the current software support for these platforms.

I am not able to find any information related to the software support for these platform. Can someone point me to the link wherein I can download the SDK/PSP source code and go through release notes / user guide?

The application I am planning is for the video conference, so I am interest to know current software support available for audio video capture, playback, encode, decode and image processing features?

Thanks,

Krunal

    Hello, Let me first point you to www.omapedia.org

    omapedia is a valuable resource that will show you all the opperating systems supported by our development platforms, and how to install them.

    The link below is where you can download the technical reference manual for OMAP devices. This is a low-level guide that I'm sure you will find very useful. http://www.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbudocumentcenter.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12037#62

     

    Please do not hesitate to post additional/follow up questions. - Josh

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks for the TRM, this is an important information I was looking for.

    Regarding software components, I have visited omapedia earlier where each components are available separately.

    I have few more queries regarding the software components:

    1. Does TI provide any combined SDK / PSP release for OMAP4460 (like it does for sitara and davinci family)? If not is there any plan for that?
    2. Where can I get the Releasenote / userguide for current software features supported in kernel (specially audio/video capture/playback and encode/decode) if I am planning to use pandaboard-ES?
    3. Where can I download examples for audio / video encoding / decoding along with the firmware binaries for Ducati?

    Regards,

    Krunal

    On 1: For developer community there is no SDK/PSP release for OMAP4 Platforms. However, you can leverage Ubuntu 11.10 (start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP) , Linaro (http://www.linaro.org/downloads/)  or one of the other various distribution that has been crafted to work on OMAP4 platforms

    On 2. I am not sure I understand the question. But, each distribution has it release notes (e.g. are above)

    On 3. Ducati firmware binaries are supported out of the box for Ubuntu 11.10 (ref: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandaboard/hdUaqbCBzjY). The other option is to leverage the libdce project (ref: https://github.com/robclark/libdce)
