Tony, the "language that runs in something like 4K program and 4K data memory" is called assembler code! :) I'm assuming there is one for the DSP in question.

Actually, if you don't use functions like printf C can get you pretty close to assembler sized code. General purpose functions like that are incredible memory hogs.

New You have to understand the context
The dev tools I'm getting include assembler and C compiler, along with a simple OS and a good sized application specific (imaging) library.

But there are a lot of advantages to combining assembly and C with a scripting language. It's a lot more flexible. So, if I can do it, I will. The only current language that might work for the ADSP21xx DSP seems to be FORTH (and at least two different people have ported FORTH to these chips). The other alternatives are to roll my own (something I'd prefer not to do) or give up.
