XScale was an awesome processor. Not only was it competitive, but it was 100% completely open and documented.

- OneEyedRobot 5y agoI used it in a design. What I remember (it was a while ago) was the lack of OS and driver support from third party software houses. It was a mistake to use it.
- mmastrac 5y agoThat's a shame. I only used it at a hobby level and found the Linux kernel to be surprisingly stable on it (before Linux really ran on a lot of phones). This was just before Palm started going all-in on Linux/WebOS. With time I think it could have been a real contender.
