General

  • Official Hackers Manual (v1.01) from OpenPandora Ltd, includes warnings about damage and warranties (or loss of).

Board

Pandora PCB rev 5

The Pandora is based upon OMAP3530 and DM3730 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 (600MHz units)

  • OMAP3xxx: Main page on TI site[1]
  • OMAP3530 specific page[2] This lists the features of the chip and has all the applicable Technical Documents

DM3730 (1GHz units)

  • DM3730 specific page[3]
