Hi, First of all, thanks to everyone who responded on the version control question....I had a poke around with what was suggested but came to the conclusion that what I am using is bad.......what I have seen is not an order of magnitude better......and at least I know what I am using now is bad. (Better the devil you know) On a separate issue, I have heard stories about people using DSPs as micros, effectively. Using the core to provide number crunching while also implementing some communications capability. Has anyone any experience with this? It would be nice, for certain applications to get rid of the micro/DSP combo...certainly on the basis of cost. Is this possible/old hat/a stupid question?
