follows.1. Tested and validated evaluation board with Rhea Architecture based VOIP –SIP application including complete relevant source code and documents.2. T.30/T4 Module Support on SiTel reference with Rhea architecture3. It can terminate T.30 fax and provide fax data to application.4. SiTel board has sufficient RAM and Flash for application software intended for this project.5. The quality and features of conversions from PDF to TIFF and vice versa are limited by the availability of all the source code for cross compilation and features it provide 6. Performance of the application compiled with 32 bit running on 16 bit architecture is what is provided by SiTel architecture7. Cr16 cross compiler tool chain supports standard libraries and image compression libraries (JPEG, ZLIB) etc…8. Cr16 tool chain has support for building only static library or application software. Static compilation of the applications / software requires more amount of memory in terms of RAM and flash.
