blackfin

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.
