Nomadik

Nomadik is a family of microprocessors for multimedia applications from STMicroelectronics, and later ST-NXP Wireless.

It was originally based on the ARM9 (and later ARM11) ARM architecture(s), and was designed specifically for use in mobile devices.

On December 12, 2002, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments jointly announced an initiative for Open Mobile Application Processor Interfaces (OMAPI) intended to be used with 2.5 and 3G mobile phones, that were going to be produced during 2003.

[4] The family was aimed at 2.5G/3G mobile phones, personal digital assistants and other portable wireless products with multimedia capability.

[5] A derivative of the Nomadik was created specifically for navigation systems (GPS), named Cartesio STA2062.

The S8815 USB dongle was a single board computer manufactured by Calao Systems and sold by ST Microelectronics using the Nomadik STn8815 chipset.
