TI unveils OMAP based evaluation module

Looking to help developers jumpstart their product designs, Texas Instruments has introduced a new processor based evaluation module for industrial applications.

The OMAP5432 is said to enable quick and easy evaluation and benchmarking for applications demanding high performance processing and graphics at low power, including human machine interface, portable data terminals, digital signage and medical monitoring end equipment. Based on the dual 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore, the board offers designers access to interfaces such as Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, audio I/O and SATA, as well as expansion ports for multiple display and camera options. It also hosts power management and thermal management frameworks, which enable fanless operation across different applications. "The OMAP5432 allows customers to quickly evaluate their applications on a device that has the multimedia and graphics expected from the OMAP platform and the processing power needed for industrial applications," said Dennis Rauschmayer, marketing manager, for TI's OMAP products.
