Make note of the following;

A new job has opened at QUIK and this short post is to start to explore it.

The ARM M4= ARM M3 +DSP instructions.

The job openning is for DSP expertise.

So just more support for the future to hold the M4 above the FFE.
There was no doubt for me.

Some sensors, ( always on mic for example- ie audience are DSP based)  and I did not know how to handicap the race, so I like this A LOT as QUIK will have the expertise to do what is asked in the DSP arena.

Thanks QUIK for filling in any possible gaps in the SoC offering.

• The inference is that QUIK has the bits and pieces and will have the expertise to make the very best SoC that there will be
• "Deeply embedded"  -Floating point will be made use of.  Algos will run both places, the FFE and the M4.  That new person with the Algo team, with real expertise in very complex indoor location, will be able to do some amazing stuff with this sort of silicon.  A very tiered approach will  give great power figures and the complex ability to do some very cool stuff.
