Various Atmel, ST Microelectronics, Microchip, or Spansion devices would work (make
sure it's a NOR Flash device).

But I don't think a large amount of serial Flash EEPROM is common in DSP designs.
Why? A) Often times there is a general purpose MCU or CPU of some type in the
design, so it can boot the DSP via serial boot. B) The DSP may need non-volatile
storage, and serial access to the Flash device is slow, especially on writes.

If you look at the various TI EVM And DSK boards, they all have parallel NOR Flash
connected to the DSP. So that says something.
