[Discuss-gnuradio] TI vs Freescale DSP for open-source development

2011-01-28 Thread Alexander Chemeris
Hello all, We're working on an open-source WiMAX receiver/scanner and we're looking into using a high-performance DSP to process data from USRP. Right now we implement this processing in FPGA, but we want to experiment with DSPs too. I know there are skilled people here and I'm looking forward to
