[Speex-dev] ARM7 decode resource requirements

  I am have just started with Speex and ARM but I have been able to
get it to Decode wideband on a Philips LPC2138 (60 MHz) board using
about 100k coded space, 20k ram (had to change a few constants to get
the memory down to this)  and about half the performance (takes about
10ms to decode 20ms of speech).  I have been told there is some
floating point in the wideband (from Jean-Marc) but since it runs for
me have not done any more (plus the project is now on the backburner).
 I hope to test it on an Atmel AT91Sam7S256 part soon. (I have a eval
board of each)

I am using the GCC compiler in the CrossWorks toolset.

I would be interest to hear how it all works out for you.   I would
also like to try the Tremor code on the Arm7 but have not got the
chance yet.

Good luck
Tom
