OMAP: Enabling Multimedia Applications in 3G Wireless Terminals
Overview This paper describes how the Open Multimedia Applications Platform™ software and hardware architecture enables multimedia applications in third-generation (3G) wireless appliances. It provides an overview of OMAP™ strategy, concepts, main milestones, and achievements. It also describes OMAP hardware architecture, explains how multimedia applications can benefit from this advanced architecture, and why a RISC/DSP approach is superior to RISC-only architecture. This paper outlines OMAP software concepts to show how an architecture that combines two heterogeneous processors (RISC and DSP), several operating system (OS) combinations, and applications running on both DSP and RISC can be made accessible seamlessly to third parties. The final parts of the paper outline how key multimedia applications such as speech and video can be integrated in an OMAP solution.
