Embedded cpu\'s with floating point?
I'm interested in building a embedded gadget that has to do a lot of floating point computation. It needs the equivalent speed of maybe a 200-300 mhz Pentium II. The code I'm looking at uses double precision, but maybe single precision would be good enough, I'm not sure.
The application is not ultra-sensitive to miniaturization or cost, but it needs to be battery powered, and using something like a PC motherboard would use way too much power.
It also needs to provide a USB 2.0 host interface--any idea what chips are needed for that?
How hard is it in general to build this type of thing?
