Based on Texas Instruments’ OMAP-L138 processor and designed in the SOM-M1 form factor, the OMAP-L138 module offers essential features for handheld and embedded networking applications and DSP functionality.
The OMAP-L138 System on Module (SOM) is a compact, product-ready hardware and software solution that fast forwards embedded designs while reducing risk and controlling cost.
Based on Texas Instruments’ OMAP-L138 processor and designed in the SOM-M1 form factor, the OMAP-L138 module offers essential features for handheld and embedded networking applications. The OMAP-L138 SOM-M1 features the superset OMAP-L138 processor, but also supports the TMS320C6748 digital signal processor (DSP).
The OMAP-L138 SOM-M1 brings the industry leading low power ARM926 core to a small, off-the-shelf solution. The standard SOM-M1 form factor allows developers to reuse existing baseboard designs when upgrading to new OMAP processors, which extends roadmap possibilities for their end-product.
The compact size of the OMAP-L138 SOM-M1 is ideal for medical patient monitoring wearables and other portable instrumentation applications; the built-in Serial ATA (SATA) controller provides fast access to large capacity storage devices. For medical, industrial, audio, and communication products, the OMAP-L138 SOM‑M1 allows for powerful versatility, long-life, and greener products.
The OMAP-L138 SOM-M1 supports the following Texas Instruments processors:
- OMAP-L138 processor with dual core ARM926EJ-S and C6748 VLIW digital signal processor (DSP) running at 375 MHz (link to Texas Instruments OMAP-L138 page)
- TMS320C6748 VLIW DSP running at 375 MHz (link to Texas Instruments TMS320C6748 page)
