Hey Jipi,

There has been some fuss in the past about linux drivers for some of the
Creamware products.  It's been mentioned that drivers for linux are back
under development but creamware has swayed on this issue before.  I
couldn't say exactly what is going on in this area, but I consider these
one of the nicer and affordable dsp options out there.  unfortunately
mine has been collecting dust as i have given up on trying to write a
workable driver for it.

see the scope platform at creamware.com.

creamware forum w/ dated mentions of linux drivers:

if you find anything useful please let us know :).  you just might be
better off trying to get some audio distributed on a cluster of x86
machines running l4linux or something as opposed to optimizing dsp
routines for a completely different arch.  maybe someone is already
doing something like this?
