Looking for COTS SOM (System on a Module) & DSP Processors for Trade Study

[maddog]

I am not sure whether post this here or in the Engineering Forum, so I apologize if I got the wrong forum. Oops !

I am looking for some examples of DSP (Digitial Signal Processing) Boards / Modules &/or
System on a Chip Modules (SOM) that have DSP embedded in them. I have found on by
Texas Instruments (TI) -- the OMAP 35xx Series (3530 in particular) which is basically an
ARM-9 with added DSP capability. This is typically used for cell phones & multimedia,
though I have a more military application in mind.

Our desire will be to use Embedded C/C++ which support is provided by TI. I am just
wondering if other vendors might be around. I have looked at the Freescale site. Maybe
another Google search....

Let me know any thoughts. Thanxs.

I think I solved this.

I found three manufacturers VMEtro, Curtiss-Wright, and Nallatech. My interest is with
Nallatech. I found one board VXS-610 which supports upto to daughter modules.
This is using Xilinx Vertex-5 technology. The software support found was with Wind
River VxWorks. Sad for my compatriates here that GHS Integrity was not supported in
COTS fashion. So I get to empress the value of COTS and VxWorks.

ps: I apologize of my rambling yesterday as I was mixing metaphores/paradigms with
PowerPC & ARM for DSP application. The VME DSP need would be with PowerPC
microprocessor whereas with ARM, I am not required to utilize VME as my bus architecture.
