__TOC__

The [http://www.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=46946 Texas Instruments OMAP processors] have been integrated into a number of popular, low-cost and powerful single-board computers and COMs (computer-on-modules) to provide full Linux OS access with both high- and low-level hardware interfaces (such as USB 2.0, ethernet, serial, SPI, I2C, etc.). Some of the most popular and accessible platforms include the [https://www.gumstix.com/store/index.php?cPath=33 Gumstix Overo] series and the [http://beagleboard.org/ Beagleboard] series.

It is noted that while there have been a variety of successful integrations, some experimentation may be required due to limited documentation and the large number of potential applications.

== Autopilot Integration ==

OMAP boards can be connected to a number of Paparazzi autopilots in two ways:
* using a Gumstix board as a daughterboard, as in [[Lisa/L]] or the [[Classix]].
* connecting to an OMAP board externally with a cable of some sort

There are several feasible interface methods (some have been explored thoroughly, others less so):
* SPI connection (as used on Lisa/L)
* Serial connection
* USB connection (often as a USB serial port, with the autopilot in peripheral mode connected to an OMAP host port)

==Gumstix Overo==
Brief description, target integration (directly on Lisa/L, combination with TWOG or others)

==Historic==
===Gumstix Basix===
The [[Classix]] autopilot was the first Paparazzi board to allow a Gumstix Basix as a daughterboard.
