Welcome to the Analog Devices Open Source Koop

This site is the central location for open source and free software and hardware projects targeted for use with certain members of the Analog Devices Blackfin processor family, and Analog Devices peripherals (and their associated Linux drivers). In addition to a wide range of applications, this Koop also focuses on supporting Open Source hardware and software tools, including the GNU GCC toolchain and the uClinux distribution. It is sponsored and supported by a small team from Analog Devices.

What is a Koop?

The word "Koop" is derived from the English word cooperative, which typically describes a jointly owned enterprise that produces and distributes goods and services and is run for the benefit of its owners. In this situation, it takes nothing to be an "owner", except the understanding/acknowledgment that you get out, what you put in — that is, sharing and cooperation. While the Koop does includes a small dedicated team of contributors (some volunteer, some Analog Devices employees), everything is done for the betterment of the entire Koop - collaborating with others (including you) for a common purpose and benefit. What this means is that you (and we) must be willing to adjust to differences in opinion and implementation in order to obtain agreement for the Koop's greater good.

The blackfin.uclinux.org website is a free (zero cost) service to developers and users of Open Source Software, offering easy access to the best in source code, mailing lists, bug tracking, message boards/forums, software road maps and releases of Open Source software, as it relates to the Blackfin processor.
