Ben, 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. DSPBridge doesn't has this

Ben, We are attracted to DSPBridge over DSPLink because it appears to have better dynamic resource management and it is headed for mainline (fingers crossed). Do you mean dynamic memory management ? Can you please elaborate on what feature you are referring to ? Thank you, Best regards,
