Board
The Pandora is basing upon the Beagle Board layout. It bases upon a OMAP3530 System-on-a-chip, that includes a whole family of processors in one single chip:
- ARM Cortex-A8 CPU
- PowerVR SGX graphics core
- C64x+ DSP core
OMAP3530
- OMAP35x: Main page on TI site[2]
- OMAP3530 specific page[3] This lists the features of the chip and has all the applicable Technical Documents
- OMAP35XX technical manual: [4] (38MB PDF)
Other OMAP3530 Projects
- Always Innovating Touch Book[5]
- Beagle Board Resources[6] As it uses the same SoC, many BB resources are also relevant for the Pandora.
- Beagle Board Google Group[7]
Cortex-A8
This processor is part of the ARM risc cpu family[8] that is licensed by a lot of hardware vendors. It has multiple command extensions as NEON (similar to MMX for x86 architecture)
- r1p1[9] Note: OMAP3530 uses rev1p2
- UPDATE: r2p2 Documentation [10] Note: OMAP3530 uses rev1p2
- NEON instruction set [11]
- NEON memory hazards[12]
PowerVR
C64x+
Digital signal processors allow to do complex calculations within only a few cycles
