OMAP 4 port status
Overview
At present the port consists of three components:
- A HAL targetting TI’s OMAP4430 / OMAP4460 system-on-chip devices
- The standard ‘HAL’ version of the RISC OS 5 kernel and the standard ROM modules
- Additional custom driver modules, e.g. MUSBDriver, OMAPVideo as required
At present the port is known to be functional on the following hardware devices:
The OMAP 4 port has a stable version available to download. Users with an adequate backup strategy in place may wish to try the new features present in the beta version instead.
Current status
The RISC OS Roadmap covers items which are not specific to the OMAP 4, and the bug tracker covers defects in existing components. This table covers planned future tasks or areas that are yet to be implemented on OMAP 4.
| Enhancements to existing OMAP 4 functionality | ||
|---|---|---|
| Task | Description/Status | Assigned to |
