Hi Howard,

Thanks for the additional info.  I will download Code Composer and
give it a whirl.

The reason for the initial inquiry is that I want a stand alone radio.
 I am trying to finally decide whether to go the dedicated DSP route
or to use something like a mini or nano ITX board.  I know that there
is a considerable difference in power consumption, but there are some
very attractive features of using a PC running Linux inside the box.

A lot to think about for sure...
