1. Various resources

1.1. linux.omap.com

That's TI's semi official support site for Linux for OMAP. Link: http://linux.omap.com

Here is a list of OMAP Reference Platforms which are available from TI: OMAP Reference Platforms.

1.2. Linux to PalmOne Devices

Not sure if they have any access to the GSM data. Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hackndev/

1.3. OMAP DSP Gateway Project

A Linux Daemon that acts as an interface to the DSP chip. Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspgateway/

TODO:

  1. Contact developer which board they are using.
  2. Understand what the DSP gateway is doing.

1.4. OMAP 5912 OSK

[tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/OSK tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/OSK]

=> Does not come with a GSM baseband chip.

1.5. OMAP 730 SDP

http://www.gscsinc.com/evm_product.aspx?product=6 Wow, shit fuck. $4999 but with gsm modem.

1.6. HTC

HTC uses OMAP850. Richard/TI says that somebody is using hacks to access the OMAP850. HTC are windows mobile phones.

2. TODO

Starting Infos:

  1. Contact TI
  2. Join mailinglist. Ask how to get reference board. where to start.
  3. Contact developers of above project if they know anything.

Others:

  1. Is 'SPI' interface used to GSM chip? how does it work?
  2. What is an MCU? What is the DSP really used for?
