Digital Signal Processors (DSP) LSI and WIND ? James, I believe that TI's DSP has WIND inside ... but do you know if LSI's ZSP400 chip also has WIND inside ? They licensed it to BRCM last January ... lsilogic.com > "The decision by Broadcom to license LSI Logic’s DSP core validates our > business strategy to offer the ZSP digital signal processor as an open > architecture to high-volume customers competing in the rapidly growing global > communications market," said John Daane, LSI Logic executive vice president of > Communications Products.
