Hi Jim, no hurry! - Enjoy your vacation! ;-) Scotland, yes, on my list also ...
Yep, DSP and GUI currently are not available directly for OpenCPI access. I am working on that, though. First step will be to make the TRX controllable via an outside "relay" application that translates incoming requests via CORBA to the proprietary protocol. Also, firmware upload should be feasible via OpenCPI. Idea currently is to write that relay/proxy up using OpenCPI making the TRX look like a controllable (but not yet executable) device being capable of responding to "commands" (which I thought to model as Protocol Operations in OpenCPI). Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
