#177533 - No-on last question.

But if I design a selection of hardware filters and incorporated them into a board with an 8052, could I call the resultant SBC a DSP? If not, why?

Your hardware filters will be probably analog circuits, so how to call this board "Digital" Signal Processing board.
For me DSP means ADC(or some stream from some ADC ) with micro, which can extract usefull info from that stream.
I mean also that analog type signal is something different, but not n UART stream.

You can make DSP with 8052, but its hard , needs many bits fast math. So i cant call 8052 to be DSP type.

What is difference between microprocessor and microcontroller? For me - at least built-in oscillator and one UART.
