Notes for the Blackfin architecture port of Das U-Boot ========= ! ABOUT ! ========= Blackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally suited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary - multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and packet processing; control processing; and real-time security. The Blackfin's unique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it widespread adoption in convergent applications. The Blackfin processor is wholly developed by Analog Devices Inc. =========== ! SUPPORT ! =========== All open source code for the Blackfin processors are being handled via our collaborative website: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ In particular, bug reports, feature requests, help etc... for Das U-Boot are handled in the Das U-Boot sub project: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/u-boot This website is backed both by an open source community as well as a dedicated team from Analog Devices Inc. ============= ! TOOLCHAIN ! ============= To compile the Blackfin aspects, you'll need the GNU toolchain configured for the Blackfin processor. You can obtain such a cross-compiler here: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain ================= ! DOCUMENTATION ! ================= For Blackfin specific documentation, you can visit our dedicated doc wiki: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=bootloaders:u-boot
