not in the smartphone (dual-core) designs like the MSM7200A or the Snapdragon.
Of course, there are feature phones which only have a single core, e.g. built
around the MSM6275 or MSM6280, which then run BREW and various BREW
applications on top of the same L4.
you can compare the baseband processor part in a smart phoen more like the USB
GSM/3G Modem case: No UI and no application software on the BP.

Harald
