<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Autopilot Integration ==<br />
<br />
OMAP boards can be connected to a number of Paparazzi autopilots in two ways:<br />
* using a Gumstix board as a daughterboard, as in [[Lisa/L]] or the [[Classix]].<br />
* connecting to an OMAP board externally with a cable of some sort<br />
<br />
There are several feasible interface methods (some have been explored thoroughly, others less so):<br />
* SPI connection (as used on Lisa/L)<br />
* Serial connection<br />
* USB connection (often as a USB serial port, with the autopilot in peripheral mode connected to an OMAP host port)<br />
<br />
==Gumstix Overo==<br />
Brief description, target integration (directly on Lisa/L, combination with TWOG or others)<br />
List of documentation (some more complete than others):<br />
*[[Lisa_USB]] - Notes about USB ports on Lisa/L and compatible devices<br />
*[[Lisa_Logitech_Camera]] - Notes about streaming from a USB webcam<br />
*[[LisaOveroImage]] - Building an Overo image for Lisa with Open Embedded<br />
*[[Dev/Caspa]] - Describes the work to fully integrate a Gumstix Caspa FS camera on a Lisa/L board<br />
*[[Overo]] - Interfacing a Gumstix Overo to an LPC21xx autopilot like the TWOG<br />
*[[Setting_up_a_build_environment_for_overo-oe]] - Notes on setting up a build environment for overo-oe<br />
*[[Bitbake_libevent]] - Notes on how to bitbake libevent for the Overo<br />

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