TI unveils OMAP based evaluation module

Texas Instruments OMAP5432EVM

New OMAP5432 processor-based evaluation module from Texas Instruments delivers exceptional processing and graphics capabilities to high-performance industrial applications

Helping developers jumpstart their product designs, Texas Instruments Incorporated introduced its OMAP5432 processor-based evaluation module (EVM) for high-performance industrial applications. TI's OMAP5432 EVM enables quick, easy evaluation and benchmarking for applications demanding high-performance processing and graphics at low power, including human machine interface (HMI), portable data terminals (PDT), digital signage and medical monitoring end equipment.Based on the dual-1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore, the OMAP5432 EVM has the performance to make applications run faster than ever. At $329 USD, it is a cost-effective tool to prototype software, evaluate applications and benchmark designs. The EVM gives customers easy access to key 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 hosts power management and thermal management frameworks, which enable fanless operation across a wide variety of applications. The tool is also equipped with a customized, companion power management integrated circuit (PMIC), the TWL6040 audio codec.
