Both chip versions are Calypso C035 variants (ARM7 running +at 52 MHz, DSP running at 104 MHz), and both include AMR support - but there +must have been some issue with DSP version 34 (and maybe version 35 used in +Calypso+) that compelled TI to produce the newer and final version 36 which we +are most familiar with. + +Our Layer1 code is based on TI's TCS211-20070608 semi-src release (which we have +reconstructed back to full source), and it officially supports only DSP 36. +However, our FC Magnetite firmware can also be built for DSP 34 targets (see +the Calypso-version-override article), in which case we use a monolithic DSP +patch (no L1_DYN_DSP_DWNLD) extracted from the TSM30 source. The patch version +is 4130. + +The configure.sh target name for this special modified board is fcdev3b-dsp34 +instead of just fcdev3b, and the two firmware builds are not interchangeable: +the regular fcdev3b build goes into regular FCDEV3B boards, the special +fcdev3b-dsp34 build goes into the special FCDEV3B-751774 board. However, when +running its respective build this DSP 34 board appears to function just as well +as our regular DSP 36 targets: standalone RF tests work, DSP-based audio +services (beeps and Melody E1) work, connecting to a live GSM network worked, +a few test voice calls worked, all of them connected in AMR mode, voice passed +successfully in both directions. + +Going forward, we shall continue using D751992AGHH chips with DSP ROM version +3606 as our regular platform, but it is nice to know that the earlier DSP 34 +apparently works too.
