General
- Official Hackers Manual (v1.01) from OpenPandora Ltd, includes warnings about damage and warranties (or loss of).
Board
The Pandora is based upon OMAP3530 and DM3730 System-on-a-chip, that includes a whole family of processors in one single chip:
- ARM Cortex-A8 CPU
- PowerVR SGX graphics core
- C64x+ DSP core
OMAP3530 (600MHz units)
- OMAP35x: Main page on TI site[1]
- OMAP3530 specific page[2] This lists the features of the chip and has all the applicable Technical Documents
DM3730 (1GHz units)
- DM3730 specific page[3]
Other OMAP3530 Projects
- Always Innovating Touch Book[4]
- Beagle Board Resources[5] As it uses the same SoC, many BB resources are also relevant for the Pandora.
- Beagle Board Google Group[6]
Cortex-A8
This processor is part of the ARM risc cpu family[7] that is licensed by a lot of hardware vendors. It has multiple command extensions as NEON (similar to MMX for x86 architecture)
- r1p1[8] Note: OMAP3530 uses rev1p2
- UPDATE: r2p2 Documentation [9] Note: OMAP3530 uses rev1p2
- NEON instruction set [10]
- NEON memory hazards[11]
PowerVR

- OpenGL ES 2.0, several million polygons per second.
- OpenGL ES 1.1 Tutorial
- SGX driver info
C64x+
Digital signal processors allow to do complex calculations within only a few cycles

accessories
Currently a Pandora branded case, a TV out cable and replacement batteries are available, though as of mid-2011 production of the TV out cable has not started yet. The lead developers are currently entertaining other possibilities.[17]
Where does the stylus fit?
The stylus fits in a slot in the bottom, near the front and on the right hand side. It slides in parallel to the battery.
Carrying case
