Since ADI has officially joined the Zephyr Project, Is there any plan from ADI to add support for Zephyr OS to Blackfin Processors (and especially BF527)?

Hi Vix,
Unfortunately there is no plan to support Zephyr on the Blackfin processors. Can you provide some information about your requirements for us to factor into any future discussions about viability?

Hi MurrayA
more or less 10 years ago I developed a project based on ADI BF527 using VDK + lwIP.
The product is in full production at the moment, adding new features, and I don't see any issue from the harware side.
From the software side, the situation is completely different: VDK + lwIP is an old, outdated and badly supported ecosystem.
Adding new features (when requested by customers or by the market) is a challenge.
I've been thinking about how to handle the future of this project:

Thanks for the details! That's very useful.
