Sorry. I did so in the earlier patch series. http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/c6000/portal/release1882 > > Also, wth is c6x? This architecture supports members of the Texas Instruments family of C6xxx single and multicore DSPs. The multicore parts have no cache coherency among the cores so are not really suitable for SMP. The core architecture is a VLIW instruction set optimized for DSP operations (64 general purpose registers, fast multiply, lots of bit manipulation instructions, no divide instruction). No MMU for now, but may be in the future. For details see: http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dsphome.tsp?sectionId=46&DCMP=TIHomeTracking&HQS=Other+OT+home_p_dsp --Mark
