ARC. oo that's interesting. if that's the same "ARC" as now owned by... achhh who is it... not mentor graphics, not cadence... synopsis! that's them. it's a design that's a lot better than ARM, and has specialist Video Instruction extensions amongst other things. several thousand instructions. synopsis' extensions to ARC are *really* good at this sort of thing, so it would make a lot of sense that it's been used by broadcom for, duh, video processing. the significant thing is: ARC has a full gcc toolchain available. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcc-arc/ l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
