Cortex-A8 port

This section of the wiki contains information about the port of RISC OS to the ARM Cortex-A8 architecture. The initial target is the OMAP 3 family of system on chip devices from Texas Instruments, which are in turn used in their ‘Beagleboard’ reference designs.

Getting started with the OMAP 3:

  • Status of the OMAP 3 port – what does work, what doesn’t
  • Hardware compatibility list – peripherals seen to work with OMAP 3 motherboards
  • Starting from nothing – how to prepare an SD card containing a ROM image, and how to prepare the HardDisc4 disc image
  • Forum discussion thread – main discussion for all things relating to the Cortex-A8/OMAP3 port

Technical information for the OMAP 3 specifically:

  • OMAP3 port troubleshooting guide
  • An overview of the OMAP3 HAL

General Cortex-A8 information:

  • Software compatibility list
  • A guide for programmers on how they can update their code to run on Cortex-A8 CPUs
  • A collection of links to technical documentation regarding the Cortex-A8 port
