| 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. | |
| 14 | </marketing blurb> | |

| 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 | |

| 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: | |
