OMAP

OMAP (Open Multimedia Applications Platform) developed by Texas Instruments is a category of proprietary system on chips (SoCs) for portable and mobile multimedia applications. OMAP devices generally include a general-purpose ARM architecture processor core plus one or more specialized co-processors. Earlier OMAP variants commonly featured a variant of the Texas Instruments TMS320 series digital signal processor.

On 26 September 2012, Texas Instruments announced that they would wind down their operations in smartphone and tablet oriented OMAP chips and instead focus on embedded platforms. The fate of OMAP5 therefore remains uncertain. On 14 November 2012, Texas Instruments announced that they would cut 1700 jobs due to its shift from mobile to embedded platforms.
