It really depends on what you want. First, you will need an IPC like SYSLINK
to communicate between the ARM and DSP. TI stopped support for SYSLINK on
OMAP3 on the 2.6.32 kernel. I think there might even be support for the 3.0
kernel, but nothing after that. If you want to use the 3.8 kernel or later,
then you probably need to use the OMAP4 or OMAP5 processor in that these
devices support an IPC called RPMSG (also known as SYSLINK3) which is in
mainline. TI have talked about adding OMAP3 support for RPMSG but with the
cutbacks last year, I¹m not sure this is going to happen.
