Hi Scott,
AFAIK, it's a TI DSP .... Unfortunately, I bought these cards
thinking
there wouldn't be much difference between the 520 and the 520+.
From what I could find from google before, the TI DSP is a proprietary
design, with no open source drivers available or available in the near
future.
I'd suggest returning the 520+'s and getting a pair of 520's, as I did...!
Good Luck,
Eric
