Yes. We certainly need to get blocks ported over to the chip to do
anything. From a GNU Radio standpoint as a GSoC project, that's not
particularly interesting to us, just work that has to be done. What
we're interested in as a project is improving our understanding of
both many-core processors as well as the use of coprocessors for
signal processing/SDR work.
