OMAP 5 port

This section of the wiki contains information about the port of RISC OS to the ARM Cortex-A15 architecture. The initial target is the OMAP 5 family of system on chip devices from Texas Instruments, which are in turn used in their ‘TI OMAP5432 EVM’ reference design.

Getting started with the OMAP 5:
