[Tremor] Which Tremor branch for TI DSP C55x

Hello,

I'm trying to port the Tremor code to a TI DSP C55x processor.
But I'm not sure which code-base I should choose and I hope, that you  
can give me same hints where to start:

I think the low-mem branch seems to be the best for my problem. There  
is also a no-byte versions available for processors which doesn't  
support byte-addressing (like the C55x). But this branch seems to  
very old and it is also incomplete. The dsp.c file is missing in the  
no-byte branch. So the low-mem branch seems to be better, even when I  
have to modify all the functions using byte-addressing.

Another problem is that the alloca() function is not available in  
stdlib for the C55x Processor. So does anybody already programmed an  
"alternative" alloca() function which works with the C55x?

Thanks for any hints/tips...

Alexander
