<P DIR=LTR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Jean-Marc </FONT></P>
<P DIR=LTR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm trying to integrate your speex codec on our custom Blackfin board. The board is not uCLinux compatible and there is no chance that it will ever be.</FONT></P>
<P DIR=LTR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am using ADI-supplied VisualDSP++ IDE and corresponding toolchain. As long as I am compiling "C"-only version of the library everything is fine. VisualDSP++ produces working library. There is only one not so minor problem - the library is slow. However when I'm trying to compiler with inline assembler the compilation fails. It looks like ADI Blackfin assembler is not compatible with gas.</FONT></P>
<P DIR=LTR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Supposedly you are aware of the problem since amongst Blackfin developers VisualDSP++ toolchain is the most popular by far. Actually I know noone who use gnu toolchain.</FONT></P>
<P DIR=LTR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Could you suggest a solution for my problem?</FONT></P>
<P DIR=LTR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Best Regards,</FONT></P>
