I heard someone recently made rtl-sdr work on an n900. Is it just working drivers, or is it actually usable? I ask, because the processor may not be up to the job.
If it is true, someone has the rtl-sdr Tuner Sticks working on the n900, this code would allow them to operate on the Beagleboard and Beaglebone, Single board Computers, 2 very powerful and inexpensive platforms with powerful DSPs, GPUs, and extensive Development System.

Yes, this link was posted on Reddit today: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91182 He even has gnuradio and gqrx running on the N900.
However, running rtl_sdr on a Beaglebone has been a piece of cake since the beginning, even though the Beaglebone neither has DSP nor powerful GPU - just a plain kick-ass FPU.

Yes, Alex: I have no experience with the Beaglebone but I do have a Beagleboard. The Beaglebone has a GPU but runs the DSP Code in emulation, whereas the Beagleboard has a Blizzard of Hardware options including a DSP and 1080P GPU. What someone (like me) should do is create a daughterboard for the Beagleboard, connecting a Tuner chip's I2C to one of the 3 I2C controllers on the Beagleboard. Using an inexpensive 192 khz/24 bit (or better) Audio Interface, the Beagleboard could make quite an intelligent Radio/Spectrum Analyser/Oscilloscope, with a touch screen and network/wireless connectivity; or just use the tuner stick's 8 bit A/D; whatever.
