OMAP-L138 DSP+ARM9^™
Development Kit
Low-cost development kit to jump-start real-time signal
processing innovation
Texas Instruments’ OMAP-L138 development kit is a new, robust low-cost development board designed to spark innovative designs based on the
OMAP-L138 processor. Along with TI’s new included Linux™ Software Development Kit (SDK), the OMAP-L138 development kit is ideal for power-
optimized, networked applications including industrial control, medical diagnostics and communications. It includes the OMAP-L138 baseboard, SD
cards with a Linux demo, DSP/BIOS™ kernel and SDK, and Code Composer Studio™ (CCStudio) Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a power
supply and cord, VGA cable and USB cable.

Technical details
The OMAP-L138 development kit is based
on the OMAP-L138 DSP+ARM9 processor, a
low-power applications processor based on
an ARM926EJ-S and a TMS320C674x DSP
core. It provides significantly lower power
than other members of the TMS320C6000™
platform of DSPs. The OMAP-L138 processor
enables developers to quickly design and
develop devices featuring robust operating
systems support and rich user interfaces with
a fully integrated mixed-processor solution. The
dual-core architecture of the device provides
benefits of both DSP and Reduced Instruction
Set Computer (RISC) technologies, enabling
applications requiring a high-level operating
system and more intensive digital signal
processing.
With a wide variety of standard interfaces
for connectivity and storage, the OMAP-L138
development kit enables developers to easily
bring audio, video and other signals onto the
board. Expansion headers allow customers to
extend the functionality of the kit to include a
camera sensor from Leopard Imaging or an
LCD screen. Included interfaces are:
• USB serial port
• Fast Ethernet port (10/100 Mbps)
• USB host port (USB 1.1)
• USB OTG port (USB 2.0)
• SATA port (3 Gbps)
• VGA port (15-pin D-SUB)
• LCD port (Beagleboard-XM connectors)
• 3 audio ports
• 1 line in
• 1 line out
• 1 MIC in
• Composite in (RCA jack)
• Leopard Imaging camera sensor input (32-
pin ZIP connector)
• Authentic fingerprint sensor
Easy to write and optimize
DSP code
Designers can readily target the OMAP-L138
processor through TI’s robust and compre-
hensive Code Composer Studio IDE. CCStudio
IDE includes an efficient optimizing C/C++
compiler assembler, linker, debugger;
