We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "OMAP platform",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release API streamlines 2D graphics from
Imagination Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Implementing OpenVG using hardware acceleration enables OEMs to deliver smooth, high frame rate interactive performance at very low power levels".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Microsoft rewards embedded excellence from
Texas Instruments (April 2006-): "Texas Instruments has been recognised by Microsoft with the North American Windows Embedded Partner Excellence Award 2007".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Mistral Software
concerning its OMAP2430 starter kit
- take a look at Development kit for wireless/multimedia devices
which says: "The OMAP2430 starter kit is a software development and device prototyping platform for wireless/multimedia-based applications and devices based on the OMAP2430 application processor".
Take a look also at the news release from Khronos Group, Standard guarantees codec interoperability,
as well as Alliance secures mobile TV access from Texas Instruments (April 2006-),
and Handset processor runs security platform at 3GSM from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
