For the past 14 years Analog Devices has developed and maintained the ports of uCLinux, uBoot, GCC, GDB and Buildroot for the Blackfin BF5xx architecture.
We will be shortly stopping our support and maintenance of these products.
The documentation currently hosted on the blackfin.uclinux.org website will no longer be available. However the sources and binary distributions will still be available from SourceForge at the following locations:

Support for Blackfin uCLinux can still be obtain by the community group at https://ez.analog.com/dsp/software-and-development-tools/linux-for-adsp-sc5xx-processors/
Analog Devices continues to support Linux for the ADSP-SC5xx processor family. For more information please visit https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/processors-and-dsp/evaluation-and-development-software/linuxaddin.html
Analog Devices believes in Open Source Software and continues to support the effort. For more details see https://github.com/analogdevicesinc
Please let me know where to get old documentations that many links even in SourceForge are referring to "docs.blackfin.uclinux.org" and it could not be resolved now.
Sad to see this gone. At my former job I was working on a product running Linux on a Blackfin DSP - part of a data acquisition system on a new mine countermeasures vessel (ORP Kormoran) built for the Polish Navy.
I'm working on finding a suitable mirror for hosting the docs, it hopefully will not be too much longer.
Please, tell us how long time wait? Me (and others :) very need documentation archive.
How much size of archive?
Thank you.
This is quite a pity to see the old blackfin.uclinux.org orphaned, although the wayback machine still has everything archived (like https://web.archive.org/web/20180829084721/https://blackfin.uclinux.org/)
I'm still maintaining a blackfin development and debugging/programming toolchain including uClinux support packages for the 'old' BF5xx series, as we still are very fond of this architecture, even though a few migrations to 'modern' chips were taken. The Blackfin was just ahead of its time.
An overview of maintained 'legacy' from my side is found here: https://section5.ch/index.php/blackfin/, so if you have one of those rare issues and don't wish to migrate, feel free to send me a mail.
