DSP confusion. Possibly irresolvable.

Can anyone tell me if a Motorola XC56361 (56361, Google will NOT give results for its full name, hell knows why) the same as a Motorola XC143410GC?



I'm asking because Echoaudio Layla 24/96 PCI boards are said by one of Echo's own staff to use the XC56361, and the ALSA mailing list has archived pages that support this, yet I have THREE actual Layla 24/96 PCI cards that all have the XC143410GC on each one, and a picture found on Google Images also shows one. I need to get clarity on this because none of my boards work on a Via EPIA MII 12000 mainboard (no firmware load from DSP on PCI card), and this apparently different IC might be something to do with that.



And has anyone got a Layla 24/96 PCI card (or ANY Layla 24 bit card) that has a definite XC56301, specifically marked as such? If so, please can I see a picture? (I can't find any pictures of an XC56361 so I don't have any way to be sure it exists as a separate entity from an XC143410GC).

Meant XC56361 (56301 type was on older 20 bit systems, mostly.)

results=20

Echo's=20

pages=20

all=20

also=20

on a=20

and=20

that has=20

a=20

way to=20

56301 datasheets here:

Which is a SHARC DSP part number

XC143410GC datasheet found here: =20

Which is a custom modem 24-bit DSP. Discontinued in 2000. =20 Doesn't sound the same to me.

Thanks. Not to me either. I think all this will go way beyond me, and I am never entirely sure that the advice I get from Echo is consistent either, so what works, works. All the more reason to stay with W98 and the older hardware I use. What use is 'advance' I cannot use? :) I'd be forever spending time, money and effort to stay in the same place, like running up the down escalator.

Those data sheets will help me understand a bit though. Until now all I saw was outdated parts-brokers promises on the web. Even directly searching the Freescale site hadn't got results, I'd assumed they just binned anything they discontinued.

Still doesn't. :) But I agree, the little they do tell suggests a very different IC.
