The second part walks the reader through a hands-on. If followed through, the reader can end up with software that utilizes the video and audio parts of OMAP processor. The last part - gather that this is a standard feature of all For Dummies books - gives very useful information - TI's recommendations for Codecs and pointers to resources that will help developers.

A powerful and robust software framework is required to enable rapid prototyping and reliable long-term performance.
Multiple Families. I need your help. Maybe you've collected these in the past and have 1 or 2 that I haven't got I only started collecting a year or two ago. It presents a single software platform for diverse hardware platforms.
