    Surfing The Web

    Hi all, Its been a long time since I posted, I have been lurking waiting for the release. But I do have one question. How is surfing the web on the Pandora? I have seen some videos of the dev boards loading up Firefox but I thought now that there is a fully functioning device the devs could...

    Is There Any Difference Between Omap 3430 And Omap 3530?

    If you do a quick search on TI page you'll find out that the 3430 is lacking the DSP and that is the only difference.

    Multiplayer Idea

    If someone wrote a USB driver you could probably connect the two with a USB cable and have it act like a controller and a remote screen. The USB bandwidth should be plenty for 800x480 display and controls sent.

    Question About Overclocking

    This figure gets thrown in a lot. Let me clarify it for everyone. ARM's core architecture can run up to 1Ghz that doesn't mean the OMAP can do this. Its like ARM provides a blueprint for the processor and gives it to TI. Its then TI's responsibility to implement all the features on the...

    Fat File System Licensing?

    This statement is all kinds of wrong. First TI is only manufacturing the OMAP processor not the whole board. And the last time I checked there was no hardware inside the OMAP to do FAT file system anything, so why would TI have any obligation to pay the royalties. FAT and other file systems...

    Emulators For Developer?

    You should take a look at the BeagleBoard www.beagleboard.org Its cheap and available with angstrom running on it.

    Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

    That is exactly what I was trying to say. I was just frustrated and it came out all wrong. Engineering is like shooting at a moving target, at sometime you just have to take the shot. If you wait for something bigger and better you will always be waiting.

    Better To Wait For The Omap 3630?

    Waiting for this release would add another 6 Months min. to the development. Just because Ti says there ready to come out doesn't mean that kernel and driver support will be there. Granted it looks pretty close to the Omap 3530, I still think it will take alot more time for little benefit. Do...

    Distrobution, Mass-quantities Of Sd Cards, Copy-protection, Etc.

    I don't see what the big fuss is about not wanting to go completely digital distribution. I mean Palm pretty much did this like 10 years ago and that was hugely successful. All the devs need to do is create a extension for the package manger to be able to install packages over USB from a host...

    Distrobution, Mass-quantities Of Sd Cards, Copy-protection, Etc.

    I think digital distribution is the way to go. Have the customer create an account with a Credit card and password on your website and then have them download the application with a activation key that is their user name and password for their account. If they want to give out that information...

    Best 3d Mesh File With Keyframe

    That would be great if I had time to create a full fledged engine with scripting, but this is for a tech demonstration to convince higher ups that this is a platform we should be using. Collada looks like what I was thinking, any libraries out there that already parse it? Thanks Kevin

    Best 3d Mesh File With Keyframe

    Hi all, What do you think the best file format would be for this: I want to animate an entire cut scene in Blender and export it to be played in my OGLES 2.0 display engine on the OMAP. I want it actually rendered instead of creating an avi file and playing that, so just wondering what would...

    Openggl Freetype Font Normals

    Wow I'm new to 3D concepts, I had to wiki almost everything in your post to make sure I new what you were talking about. :D Basically I'm looking for an extruded text kinda look. I thought maybe I could fake it with normal mapping, but maybe not. I'm working on the TI mistral Omap board so...

    Openggl Freetype Font Normals

    Hello all you Programming gurus, I got my display engine to create texture mapped fonts from freetype libraries. Now I want to know if there is a good way to generate normal maps for these fonts on the fly. It has to be on the fly because I want to be able to make 3D looking text from any...
