[Mep-dev] TI OMAP

[Bob McGwier]

Our Irish Twitter friends that we all bust on have done encoding of 
digital TV signals, sent it over the air, and received, decoded, etc. 
with all of the heavy lifting done on FPGA in their labs.

The CTVR at Trinity College, with SDR and CR efforts shooting at real 
problems in anger,  aptly led by Dr. Linda Doyle,  is doing great work. 
Unfortunately, it is closed source because the Irish government wants to 
commercialize their work and provides them with their /raison d'etre./

Tom Rondeau, now working with me here at CCR, did a "finish his PD. D 
thesis cum post doc" with them before joining us last summer.
