- 11. What are the available DSP prototyping boards and manufacturers?
- { Again we need much more information - preferably as in the following format }
-
- This information was mainly supplied by
- Phil Lapsley (phil@rivetjoint.lapcon.com)
- David Pepper (dpepper@thumper.bellcore.com)
- Malachy Devlin (madmal@spd.eee.strathclyde.ac.uk)
- Paul Russell (paulr@syma.sussex.ac.uk)
- Steve Shaehnic (vigra!calvin!steve@UCSD.EDU)
- and by some of the vendor catalogues I had.
- This information is in no way definitive, and much of the information may
- well be out of date or simply wrong.
