Price and availability of a chip that did good video (HDTV even), and we didn't know the no-MMU penalty at the time. We did compare with some other devices, and against some embedded PCs, and this chip won. The PCs weren't as powerful at video (despite being targetted at it) and too expensive. > I worked on > one vision system using VxWorks (ver 4.2) on an i960.

It's not just video, there's also fairly sophisticated networking and data shoveling, and some interactive stuff. > good luck on the sw headaches. ;) may the force be with you ... lol Thanks :-) -- Jamie _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
