| 7 | <marketing blurb> |
| 8 | Blackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally |
| 9 | suited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary - |
| 10 | multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and |
| 11 | packet processing; control processing; and real-time security. The Blackfin's |
| 12 | unique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it |
| 13 | widespread adoption in convergent applications. |

| 15 | |
| 16 | The Blackfin processor is wholly developed by Analog Devices Inc. |

| 19 | ! SUPPORT ! |
| 20 | =========== |
| 21 | |
| 22 | All open source code for the Blackfin processors are being handled via our |
| 23 | collaborative website: |
| 24 | http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ |
| 25 | |
| 26 | In particular, bug reports, feature requests, help etc... for Das U-Boot are |
| 27 | handled in the Das U-Boot sub project: |
| 28 | http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/u-boot |
| 29 | |
| 30 | This website is backed both by an open source community as well as a dedicated |
| 31 | team from Analog Devices Inc. |

| 33 | ============= |
| 34 | ! TOOLCHAIN ! |
| 35 | ============= |
| 36 | |
| 37 | To compile the Blackfin aspects, you'll need the GNU toolchain configured for |
| 38 | the Blackfin processor. You can obtain such a cross-compiler here: |
