[ My apologies if this is a duplicate post, I'm having trouble with news.palmos.com ]
I've unsuccessfully scoured the internet for about half an hour for answers to these questions. Kindly let me know if there is a better forum for their discussion! I am confusion about a few things. 1) On December 17, 2001, Palm announced that it would use TI's OMAP processors to power -some- of its future higher-end professional products. As I understand it, OMAP basically mates an ARM core with a DSP. To date, I've not seen any announcement as to precisely which components will comprise this OMAP processor. I've seen one configuration as "OMAP 1510," and another simply as a TMS320C55x DSP + ARM 925T CPU. I'm very interested in researching the hardware caching dynamics (if there's a hardware cache) and other architectural implications of this move to the TI OMAP processor. Has there been any news on precisely what hardware will go in to these OMAP Palm devices? 2) There are at least two different ARM chips -- Motorola's Dragonball MX1 with the ARM920T core, and Texas Instrument's OMAP processor, with a core unbeknownst to me (ARM925T?). Again, Palm says it will stick with TI for most of its new devices -- yet, Motorola is going to keep chugging away with new versions of Codewarrior for ARM. Does this schism mean that PalmOS licensees might combine PalmOS + Dragonball MX1, while Palm devices will combine PalmOS + TI's OMAP architecture? Will Codewarrior for ARM be able to compile for both the Motorla and TI scenarios, or will a new IDE need to be introduced (!!)?
