[opus] Using opus on ATMEL 32-bit RISC microcontroller

[Daniele Barzotti]

Hi all,

thanks a lot for your replies!

Sorry for my typo, the flash size is 8MB (Byte) :-)
Unfortunately I cannot use another flash because I'm working on a 
proprietary board.

Jean-Marc, thanks for your suggestions.
I thought to use fixed point for convenience, but I can work on floating 
point too, so I will take in account the codec2 (I didn't know it).

Moreover, if you all have other suggestions to give me I appreciate! ;-)

Cheers,
Daniele.
