I'm sold on that, mostly because of the peripherals, but that doesn't quite address the issue. Some of the points below apply to OMAP1, for example: using arm926, DSP-qua-DSP, no PRCM, etc All I'm saying is: make sure everyone who needs to agree on this, at a technical level, does so. - Dave > Here's why I think it's more like Davinci: > * Has PSC like Davinci, not PRCM like OMAP > * EDMA3 is the main DMA engine, no SDMA > * No MMU on DSP > * Uses Switched Central Resource (SCR) rather than L3/L4 interconnects > * ARM926 core like Davinci > * EMAC > * The DSP is actually called "DSP" rather than being part of "IVA" > > It was a marketing decision to name the part OMAP-L1xx. > That was mainly to convey that it's a low power device, > which is something that OMAP is known for.
