Even if you've missed some detail and they are still available, or TI has puts them back you should take this as an important reminder: No-cost software is not the same as Free Software, even for development tools. You were always at TI's mercy. :( When I saw that the beagle-board OMAP had a nice fast c64x my first question was "Can GCC target this?" when I found out the answer was no I went no further. Not because of some blind preference free software but because of exactly this practical concern. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
