8*4882a593SmuzhiyunBlackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally
9*4882a593Smuzhiyunsuited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary -
10*4882a593Smuzhiyunmulti-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and
11*4882a593Smuzhiyunpacket processing; control processing; and real-time security.  The Blackfin's
12*4882a593Smuzhiyununique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it
13*4882a593Smuzhiyunwidespread adoption in convergent applications.

36*4882a593Smuzhiyun
37*4882a593SmuzhiyunTo compile the Blackfin aspects, you'll need the GNU toolchain configured for
38*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe Blackfin processor.  You can obtain such a cross-compiler here:
