In the case of OMAP 2420 the 2D/3D accelerator and IVE are in  my opinion
much more interesting candidates for game and media programming. If only
there was documentation available.

According to that block diagram it is a C55-core. Documentation for those is
here:
http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspsupporttechdocs.tsp?sectionId=3&tabId=409&techDoc=6&documentCategoryId=6&familyId=325
See SPRU393 and 371 to get started.

In addition, I believe this is used:
http://dspgateway.sourceforge.net/pub/index.php.
