Documentation: Cortex-A8 technical docs
Key documentation
- OMAP3530 TRM
- TPS65950 TRM (documentation for the OMAP3 companion chip that’s used in practically every OMAP3 board. The TWL4030 is another companion chip that’s used, but from a programmer’s perspective it’s functionally equivalent to the TPS, so the TPS manual is a suitable reference for both)
- OMAP3530/25/15/03 Applications Processor Silicon Errata
- Cortex-A8 TRM
- ARMv7-AR ARM – Follow the link through to silver.arm.com and you should be able to create an account to allow you to download the ARMv7-AR ARM
- AM37/DM37x TRM (new SoC used in BeagleBoard-xM)
Machine-specific documentation
- Beagleboard reference manuals and design materials (including -xM docs)
