You might try Texas Instruments's Web pages <http://www.ti.com>. They
have a DSP library and I think there's a pretty good and small real-time
kernel/scheduler there originally written for the C25. It's been ported
to most of their other DSP chips like the C3x/C40 as well. And I know
it's been tested extensively in some special devices that proved to be
highly effective a few years ago in the Middle East. I don't think
you'll find any free compilers there though, which is probably good given
the quality of the compilers they charge for.
