Blaze^TM Mobile Development Platform

A complete mobile system solution designed for the innovative developer

The Blaze^TM mobile development platform (MDP) is the first in a family of OMAP^TM 4 processor-based development tools. The Blaze MDP transforms designs into real-life applications by pairing the OMAP 4 platform with key peripheral support.
