Inch-square DSP module runs Linux


Inch-square DSP module runs Linux
Cambridge Signal Processing (Camsig) is shipping a 1-inch-square "system-on-module" powered by an Analog Devices (ADI) Blackfin DSP (digital signal processor). The Minotaur BF537 and its simple two-layer break out board support uClinux, and target network cameras, network audio players, DVRs, PDAs, industrial automation, and robotics applications. ...
 
The Minotaur is based on an ADI Blackfin BF537 DSP, a 600MHz part with a 1.2GHz MAC (multiply-accumulate unit). The BF537 gained mainline Linux kernel support just a couple of months ago. Other Blackfin family DSPs can be special-ordered, Camsig says, for example by Stamp customers wishing to stick with the BF533 part while streamlining manufacturing.
