Reading between the lines, it sounds like you want to walk on the Dark (Rf) side? Take a look here, if you really want to get into controlling the Rf side of things..... http://www.ettus.com/ http://gnuradio.org/trac PS, If you are going along this path, I'd stick with a mainstream uP and add peripherals as needed, or a FPGA design. IC companies get lots of unseen pressure from governments and corporations, when there sexi little SOC become available in great detail to the masses, particularly those of a linux persuasion, in my experiences.... caveat emptor! hth, James
