I started working on USB in 1995, starting with the world’s first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, I returned to USB IP cores and software at inSilicon, one of the leading suppliers of USB IP. In 2002, inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys and I’ve been here since. I also served as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementers Forum from 2004-2006. TI OMAP 5 for Phones & Tablets with USB 3.0
Posted by Eric Huang on July 27th, 2011
Here’s a TI promotional video for their upcoming TI OMAP. I highly recommend you take a look at the entire video.
Texas Instruments OMAP 5 by <a href=http://www.dailymotion.com/GPSAndCo
You will see it features:
-
Gesture Control
-
PicoProjector – The best use I’ve seen of one so far.
-
eWallet
-
Augmented Reality
These applications require throughput. If you look at the diagram here at TI.com, you can see 2 interesting things:
1) USB 3.0 &
2) MIPI CSI with 4 ports
- This chip will be in a Mobile Phone or Tablet
- That Phone/Tablet will have 128GB+ of Flash Memory, you need USB 3.0 speeds to move video, pictures, and data on and off Phone/Tablet quickly.
- The 4 MIPI CSI connections, mean 2 forward and 2 backward facing cameras.
- 2 Cameras forward =
- HD Still Capture
- Probably 3D Video Capture
- 2 Cameras backward
- 3D Video Capture for accurate gesture/motion recognition
- Maybe 3D Video Conferencing
The TI demo shows the phone used for everything.
