Heard About this TI product :Jacinto ??

has anyone heard or worked on TI Jacinto.
I was not able to find any documentation on this.
Is this same as TI Davinci?

I just got an e-mailo about TI's Piccolo uC series:

Is that related? What is Jacinto?

I had not heard of "Jacinto" earlier.
It seems to be a dual core processor : DRA440. with an ARM926Ej core,
It is not related to Piccolo!

ha! it is hard to find much on it. i get the impression it's not going to be marketed publicly because they don't want people hacking it. here's a pdf, one of only 3 jacinto docs showing up at ti.com. and microsoft seems to be supporting it too, in a Microsoft Auto 3.1 software package.

i suspect you won't find any documentation for this unless you can somehow discover what the actual TI product used is. it may be very similar to some other off-the-shelf TI product.

edit: you know, on second thought, maybe they're just abandoning the Jacinto code name and going with branding as Davinci

I think this statement helps

" Jacinto (552MHz DSP, 348MHz ARM926E-JS and OMAP5946) a cost effective media processing engine for Automotive Infotainment applications, mainly to enable head-unit, rear seat entertainment and digital radio designers to create scalable reusable hardware and software platforms."
