For the Linux motherboard, it is Linux ($0, presumably :-)

For the OMAPL137, I understand TI has a Linux-based toolchain that is 
available at no cost.

For Windows, TI has their full-up development suite on sale for $995 
until the end of December.  It presumably will return to normal pricing 
of $3,595.

TI also has an eval board available with both Windows and Linux 
toolchains for $495.  The Windows toolchain is limited to use with the 
eval board, which also has a USB-based emulator/debugger built in.

The OMAPL137/TMS320C574x is very new and the tools are evolving.
