Yes, dynamic memory management. With DSP Link on the OMAPL138 the
memory allocated to the DSP must be specified as a 'hole' in Linux
memory at boot-time [1[2][3]. It seems (perhaps this is wishful
thinking) that dspbridge does not have this limitation.

Also dynamic application loading. With DSP Link it is possible to run
multiple linux processes concurrently communicating with DSP tasks but
the image loaded and executed on the DSP side must contain the code
for all of the tasks at load time [4]. It seems that dspbridge does
not have this limitation.

I am very interested in learning details about both dsplink and
dspbridge; please reply with more details or corrections as you see
fit.

Best Regards,
Ben Gardiner
