Features: The transmission and processing of multimedia signals place high demands on the system's processing and transmission capabilities, particularly on the size, power consumption, and cost of portable terminal systems. Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced the "Open Multimedia Application Platform (OMAP, OpenMultimediaApplicationPlant)" to meet such requirements. This platform is a system-on-chip (SoC) designed for portable multimedia terminals, such as 3G phones and PDAs. After providing a brief overview of OMAP, this book offers a detailed introduction to its hardware system, software system, and development environment, along with some application examples. The intended readers of this book are senior undergraduate and graduate students in electronic information-related fields at universities, as well as researchers and developers in the science and technology community and the industry engaged in related research and development.
