For those interested in SDR, there was recently a discussion here on signals identification [1], and some months ago a discussion of NXP's new LA9310 ADC chip for radio applications [2]:
Sadly the LA9310 DSP instruction set is considered highly proprietary[1] by the manufacturer, NXP. So I'll give this one a miss, and choose a FPGA based SDR instead. Some of the FPGAs even have a completely open-source toolchain, that has been developed by reverse engineering the bitstream format.
