Developing with Windows and the OMAP™ Platform
TI is working closely with Microsoft to enable the ultimate mobile computing experience on Windows 8 devices empowered by TI's OMAP4470 mobile processor. When the compelling features of Windows 8 are combined with OMAP technology, your tablet or ultrathin laptop is optimized to offer:
- Radically new visual capabilities, leveraging OMAP4470's enhanced graphics and imaging subsystems.
- Secure, graphic-rich and visually-immersive HD interfaces
- Advanced imaging applications
TI is excited to partner with Microsoft to extend the value of Windows 8 by planning to deliver new products and services for customers. TI also looks forward to continuing its legacy of providing reference designs and reference design software for optimized core components, including multimedia and advanced power management. Use your valuable engineering resources differentiating products rather than developing base ports and drivers, speed your time to market, and increase the quality of your products by choosing TI.
TI and Microsoft have optimized and certified Windows Mobile software
for the OMAP family of processors and will continue to support future OS versions.
Furthermore, TI and Microsoft offer DSP hardware accelerated Windows Media
in certain OMAP platforms. Key offerings available from TI and third parties
for Microsoft Windows Mobile on the OMAP platform include:
- OMAP platform reference designs from TI provide maximum flexibility for
highly differentiated form factors
- OMAP Reference Software Packages and Board Support Packages (BSP) for Microsoft
Windows Mobile help manufacturers get to market faster
- Support for the latest TI wireless technologies including: TCS
Chipsets, wireless
LAN and Bluetooth co-existence
- GPS for
location based services
- OMAP hardware DSP accelerated Windows Multimedia
- TI´s worldwide support organization with dedicated engineers
- TI´s OMAP
Developer Network and Microsoft´s Mobile2Market
programs deliver full solutions and applications that allow differentiation,
quick time-to-market and faster return on investment
- Independent OMAP
Technology Centers (OTCs) provide full development support for device
manufacturers and network operators by bringing together hardware, software
and system integration expertise and Microsoft Windows Mobile reference design
sofware packages for the OMAP platform

Windows CE
Microsoft has selected TI's OMAP2420™ applications processor as the first ARM11-based development platform for its Windows CE 6 beta release distributed this week to device makers worldwide. A Board Support Package for TI's OMAP2420 processor will be integrated into the Windows CE 6 Platform Builder toolkit. TI's OMAP2420 processor, which has shipped in millions of devices to date, will be the first ARM11-based solution that supports Windows CE 6, with a roadmap to include future OMAPTM processors.
The new OMAP2420™ platform for Windows CE 6, expected to be available later this year, is ideally suited for richer multimedia and low power applications including portable navigation devices, media players, remote monitoring equipment and gaming devices. This platform showcases the next-generation features and capabilities of the redesigned Microsoft Windows CE 6 kernel on TI's ARM11-based OMAP™ 2 platform, which will benefit a wide range of device manufacturers designing on the OMAP 2 family of processors. As a result of Microsoft's high level of testing methodology, this platform will give manufacturers a higher-quality, better-performing Windows CE 6 experience on the OMAP2420 processor.
