My Peek isn’t expected to get here till Saturday and I haven’t ordered the USB-to-Serial cable yet, but I will soon.  However, while I wait for all that I’m digging into the links on the elinux.org/peek wiki.  The link to the TI site for the TCS2310 (the main chip with the ARM7 processor) sometimes takes me to a page using this chip in wireless solutions and sometimes bounces me to a page that shows the chip being used in the OMAP 1 1710 design.  The latter is interesting because, if true, there may be a starting point for the Linux port on the TI web site for the ARM926-based OMAP 1710 reference design.

The problem here is that the links on TI’s web site that take you to the OMAP 1 1710 page show a different chip, the one based on the ARM926.  So it’s not clear from TI’s own web site if the Peek is an OMAP 1 based design or not.  If it is, we might have some instructions on how to get started even though the chip is different in those instructions.

Anyway, it’s just a thought.

Update: 2009-07-29

I asked on the IRC list about this and was told that “OMAP != Locosto”.    The TI TCS2310 is the Locosto chip.  So that OMAP stuff for the ARM926 won’t help, apparently.
