The DSP is the exact one used in the OMAPL137, which is supposed to have 
a Linux toolchain -- I think.  This link provides the status and 
projected availability of the eval board tools <

The nice thing about the 674x DSP core is that it is a superset of the 
earlier fixed and floating point cores. In other words, TI is 
consolidating the DSP cores so all the special features in certain 
high-performance cores are now in the 674x core.  The implication is 
that whatever Linux tools TI has in place to support the DSP core in the 
OMAP3530 ought to work on the new DSP core within the limitations of the 
DSP core targeted by those tools.

I think Bob N4HY has been following the Linux tool support for the DSP 
fairly closely, and may have something to add.
