ADSP-BF70x Processors

 

The ADSP-BF70x Blackfin processor series is a high-performance DSP family that delivers a class-leading  800 MMACS of processing power at less than 100mW. The cost-effective eight-member series includes up to 1MB of internal SRAM, eliminating external memory in many applications, while a second configuration features an optional DDR memory interface. Using the enhanced Blackfin+ core, the combination of performance, power efficiency, memory integration, security, and value allows designers to incorporate advanced 16- and 32-bit processing into a range of new use cases, including industrial imaging and building controls as well as portable and automotive audio. The ADSP-BF70x series offers designers unparalleled flexibility and functionality through an array of advanced connectivity options (including USB, SDIO, CAN, ePPI, SPORT, QuadSPI) while enabling bus-powered applications and extending the life of battery-powered devices.

You can learn more about our latest Blackfin processor family on our ADSP-BF70x series product page.



What is required in order to evaluate the ADSP-BF70x Processors?

  • CrossCore Embedded Studio v 2.7.0

 

CrossCoreRegistered Embedded Studio (CCES) is a world-class integrated development environment (IDE) for the Analog Devices BlackfinRegistered and SHARCRegistered processor families.  This EclipseTm based, highly visual IDE enables seamless, intuitive code generation and debug support.  A highly integrated IDE, CrossCoreRegistered Embedded Studio is optimized for popular Micrium add-in components including real time operating systems (RTOS), USB and file system stacks. There is also integrated support for a TCP/IP stack. The IDE is combined with Analog Devices advanced optimizing compiler technology and supports standards such as ISO/IEC C and C++, MISRA-C, Embedded C and MCAPI, plus additional development features to get your product to market even sooner.

Further information can be found on the CCES product page and the Getting Started with CCES guide.
