[sdiy] TI DSPs open source compiler?

[cris at music-service.nl]

I was thinking to use the TI DSP TMS320C6713 in combination with the Alesis
ADC/DAC
 http://www.alesis-semi.com/index.html
I want to use externally only one serial flash IC about 16MB (ST) and i
don't know if is possible to make the system work.
But i don't know jet, Motorola and AD have good DSP's too......

second hand old TI starter kits with TMS320C54 and C32 on ebay or whatever
for less than 100$.

is there a way to get a C/C++ compiler from TI that is not limited somehow?
I’m thinking about doing a project around one of those cheap 7$ fixed point
DSPs from TI. I found a 24-bit DAC from TI too that has a I2S interface but
no clue how to interface that to the McBSP port of the DSP (yet). You have
guessed it by now: I am completely clueless about TI DSP development.
