Board Support Package

MPC Data is pleased to offer a complete Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 Board Support Package (BSP) for the low cost OMAP3530 based Beagleboard, including a full range of quality drivers to enable a rapid start-up for your Beagleboard based product.

Hardware Accelerated Video Support Using Codec Engine Framework

To complement the leading-edge ARM Cortex A8 processor core, the TI Codec Engine framework within the BSP utilises the additional C64x+ DSP core and TI's binary codec algorithms to accelerate video media encode and decode. The Codec Engine framework provides the standard VISA ( Video Imaging Speech Audio) API for user applications. The BSP includes H.264, MPEG4 and MPEG2 codecs in binary form*.

*A production codec licence agreement must be sought from Texas Instruments for commercial use.

Hardware Acceleration for Silverlight 2D/3D and Open GL ES

The clip below demonstrates the Beagleboard BSP running Silverlight with the OpenGL libraries from Imagination Technologies which are available from TI.

Please Note: Due to licensing reasons we do not include these libraries in our binary evaluation.
