Eric,

Thanks for your reply and for all the good advices.

First I read it in a book published by Elektor in 2004 about the AD kits
based around the SHARC, but you can check it by looking at the webpages
for all AD EZ-kits, even those featuring the Blackfin, for instance :
http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0%2C2877%2CBF533%25252DHARDWARE%2C00.html
look at the "product highlights" pdf file.

Does the dsPIC development board come with as much librairies as the AD kits ?
The only one that is Rohs compliant that I found at farnell.com doesn't say
much
about it...

Basically, what I need for the kind of tasks I want to try is to have 24 bits
I/O,
enough RAM to store at least 15 or 20 sec of stereo sound at 48KHz, to be fast
enough to handle 512 or 1024 pts FFT in realtime, and be able to generate a
large
number of sines for sound re-synthesis...

Am I asking too much ?

Best,
JB
