Blackfin refers to a family of 16/32-bit microprocessors with built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) functionality, which is traditionally only accompanied by a small and power-efficient microcontroller. The result is a low-power, unified processor architecture that can run operating systems while simultaneously handling complex numeric tasks such as real time H.264 video encoding.

The processors come in several varieties of hardware development kits and a community supported Linux port is available. Currently the microprocessor is manufactured by Analog Devices.

Mark Twain quote for the day:

Experience of life (not of books) is the only capital usable in such a book as you have attempted; one can make no judicious use of this capital while it is new.
- letter to Bruce Weston Munro, 10/21/1881 (Karanovich collection)
