Blackfin is based on the micro signal architecture, codeveloped by Analog Devices and Intel, which incorporates both digital signal processing and microcontroller functionality in a single core.
Analog Devices has also launched a portal for the uClinux port to its Blackfin processor chip.
The ADSP-BF533 Stamp uClinux Kernel Board Support Package (BSP) provides developers with a cost-effective environment to develop embedded systems with the Blackfin processors.
The Stamp board has been designed to support the development and porting of open source uClinux applications and includes a full complement of memory along with serial and network interfaces.
Comments Odo Akaji, Product Development Engineer, Farnell InOne: "The advantage of uClinux with Blackfin processors is the availability of a wide range of applications, drivers, and protocols, often as open source or free software which enables design engineers to work more rapidly in response to ever increasing demand and decreasing product life cycles".
There are a wide variety of daughter boards available to plug onto this board to add interface functions such as audio, video and analogue input or output.
