Just a thought,
Has anybody tinkered with porting qemu to something like a TI TMS320C6X
DSP host. The idea would be to be able to easily port LINUX and other
open source software to such a DSP. Embeded products could use the
DSP's power natively to crunch at video codecs and such while an
emulated target would leverage the power of LINUX to craft servers, user
interfaces, you name it. Currently this is usually done with dual
physical cores, a RISC type engine for the high level stuff and the DSP
for the brutal crunching. With qemu, the RISC could posibly be virtual
thus saving board space and cost. Additionally it would be interesting
to see performance figures for qemu emulating an x86 architecture on a
VLIW machine. A kind of open sourced transmetta chip.
