The DM3730 EVK is an evaluation board based on the Texas Instruments DM3730 (OMAP3630) SoC, a Cortex-A8 ARMv7 processor introduced in the late 2000s. The platform was widely used in industrial, multimedia, and embedded applications due to its:

• ARM Cortex-A8 CPU (ARMv7-A)
• NEON SIMD engine
• PowerVR SGX graphics
• GPMC (General-Purpose Memory Controller)
• Rich peripheral set (I2C, SPI, UART, MMC, USB, Ethernet, etc.)

While the hardware remains reliable and suitable for many embedded use cases, official software support has significantly aged. Most vendor repositories are outdated, tied to legacy kernels ie Linux 2.6, or depend on obsolete toolchains and build systems.

This organization exists to provide a clean, maintainable, and modern Board Support Package (BSP) for the DM3730 EVK.

The goals are:

• Support modern Linux kernels
• Provide up-to-date U-Boot
• Maintain a reproducible Yocto-based build system
• Enable NFS, NAND, MMC, and Ethernet boot flows
• Maintain device tree support
• Provide long-term maintainability

Rather than relying on legacy vendor trees, this project rebuilds the software stack using modern upstream components wherever possible.

This organization contains:

• Linux kernel tree adapted for DM3730 EVK
• U-Boot configuration and board support
• Yocto BSP layer (meta-dm3730)
• Device tree sources
• Defconfigs
• Documentation and bring-up notes

Each repository is maintained independently but designed to work together as a cohesive BSP.

This is an independent community-driven effort. It is not affiliated with Texas Instruments or Embest.
