[meta-ti] DSP packages for OMAP3

[Ash Charles]

Hi,

I was stepping through the meta-ti layer to assess support for the DSP
on OMAP3[57].

Two questions:
1.  It looks like there are more recent versions of the code
generation tools [1] (either 7.6.0 or 7.4.8) than 7.2.7.  Is there any
reason not to use these newer version? (Apologies if this is a dumb
question---I just don't know enough about the DSP ecosystem)

2. It seems like ti-dsplink and ti-linuxutils (among others I suspect)
have hardcoded compiler paths and flags that supersede those provided
by bitbake.  This is causing me headaches when trying to build with a
hardfp compiler (as recent SGX binaries are provided in hardfp mode).
Is there a technical limitation to compiling DSP support code with a
hard float compiler?  I don't mind taking a stab at making the
makefiles a little more flexible but if the code itself relies on
non-hardfp, I'll need to rethink.

Thanks for any advice,
--Ash
