The Magik computer-on-module (COM) and Magik-MX Kit are said to be available with Windows CE 6.0, Linux, or Android. Typical applications include home media devices, museum AV guides, portable industrial measurement devices, building security, media phones with DECT, personal medical devices, PNDs (portable navigation devices), and digital signage, says Stuttgart, Germany-based TES Electronics.

The Magik COMThe Magik COM that drives the hardware evaluation kit is based on TI's well-traveled ARM Cortex-A8-based OMAP3530 system-on-chip (SoC), used here with clock speeds up to 600MHz. The high-end member of the OMAP35x family, the OMAP3530 includes both a TMS320C64x DSP/video accelerator, enabling 720p video, and an OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics engine, based on Imagination Technologies' SGX 2D/3D graphics processor.

The Magik module (pictured above) is equipped with 256MB DDR memory, 512MB NAND flash, and 64MB of NOR flash, says TES. The module can boot from either the NAND flash or else the microSD slot available on the kit's I/O board (below), says the company. The business-card sized module is said to offer Ethernet, USB, and serial connectivity, and supports HDMI, analog video, and LCD displays.

Specifications listed for the Magik COM include:
- Processor -- TI OMAP3530 with ARM Cortex-A8 @ up to 600MHz
- Memory -- 256MB Mobile DDR (166MHz) memory
- Flash -- 512MB NAND flash; 64MB NOR flash; SD interface
- Display -- Supports HDMI, analog video, and LCD; extended via kit's 7-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen
- Networking -- 10/100 Ethernet controller
- USB -- 1 x USB 2.0 high-speed host interface; 1 x USB 2.0 high-speed On-the-Go device interface
- Serial I/O -- 3 x UARTs
- Audio -- I2S compliant audio codec (TI TWL4030 with 16-bit stereo DAC, 13-bit ADC)
- Power Supply -- 5V power supply, with on-board power management
- Dimensions -- 3.54 x 1.96 inches (90 x 50mm)
- Operating temperature -- 32 to 158 deg. F (0 to 70 deg. C); ext. temp version -40 to 185 deg. F (-40 to 85 deg. C)
The Magik-MX KitThe Magik-MX Kit combines the Magik COM with a 7-inch, 800 x 480 multi-touch enabled display and an I/O board. The latter communicates with the COM via dual 180-pin high-speed connectors, says TES.

The company did not detail I/O specs except to say that the Magik-MX Kit offers HDMI, RCA, and component video I/O, a microSD slot, and an Altera Cyclone III FPGA (field-programmable gate array), said to offer "generic expansion." Judging from the photo above and the architecture diagram below, however, the device also appears to offer real-world Ethernet, plus USB ports, and a serial port.

According to TES, the Magik-MX board also provides optional WiFi, Bluetooth, and "mobile modem" support, as well as "optional DECT and CAT-iq support on USB/SPI." The kit is said to be RoHS compliant and available in industrial temperature grades.
The Magik-MK Kit ships with a Windows CE 6.0 BSP (board support package). TES also offers its own open source Magik OS, which integrates a Linux kernel 2.6.29, and is extendable with an Android implementation.
Stated Michael Sharpless, TI Worldwide Sales Manager, Elite Design House Program, "As an Elite Design House member, TES' hardware and software design expertise is clearly highlighted on Magik through integrating multimedia and a user-friendly HMI framework for a variety of industrial and consumer applications."
Stated Juergen Zeller, CEO TES Design Services & Technology, "A true added value is bringing TES Guiliani HMI on OMAP35x to ease customer's development of user interfaces in the non-mobile market."
