“Hunt Engineering Ltd. (UK), a specialist in DSP based
real-time signal and image processing, has announced support for
using its DSP modules under Linux. Hunt Engineering
manufactures a modular line DSP and I/O subsystems for use in real
time applications.”

“Hunt Engineering technical director Pete Warnes says “the Linux
support is for all of our DSP systems, details and examples of
which can be seen on our web site.” “In summary, they are modular
DSP and I/O hardware systems intended for real time applications.
We also provide development tools to allow the user to program the
DSP elements to perform their own specific system function. These
systems can be hosted by a number of different host bus formats,
including desktop PCI, CompactPCI, ISA, and PC/104.”

“Linux is often chosen for its stability in robust applications”
says Warnes. “Many of these applications require DSP performance;
yet Linux has largely been ignored by general-purpose DSP boards
vendors. This is remedied with Hunt Engineering’s release of Linux
support, which we believe is the first time Linux has had general
purpose DSP capability” adds Warnes.”
