Lyle and others,

There is a project to port gcc to C6x, but it hasn't produced a good
compiler yet.

Instead I would suggest that we also develop a ADI Blackfin BF533
(TQFP package is available for it) based DSP board also in parallel.
Blackfin has the advantage
that the tools are all available for free including a free uClinux kernel.
