The thing just is that TI didn't exactly retain the people that know the internals of the OMAP series. If you hit any bugs you're on your own unfortunately. (Your milage with the existing documentation may vary also).
- joezydeco 8y agoOMAP's been dead a long time. Sitara is OMAP with the media blocks stripped out, and it sure looks like it's on their roadmap for a while to come. https://training.ti.com/sites/default/files/docs/TI%20Mission%20Critical%20Catalog%20Processor%20Overview%20April2017%20non-NDA_0.pdf https://training.ti.com/sites/default/files/docs/TI%20Missio...
- metafex 8y agoOf course it will be produced for as long as customers want it. But the roadmap makes it also crystal clear where they are going: More DSP cores. We likely won't see anything newer than the Cortex-A15. TI builds what enough customers want, and if you're not locked in enough to their DSPs or general ecosystem, you'll move away. That in return means there won't be anything new. No single customer is big enough to warrant bigger cores alone. A nice quote I remember "I'd rather buy TI stocks than their products".
