They both support all new features of the Blackfin One v 2.1.1 board including the NAND FLASH. uClinux is based on the last distribution 2007R1-RC3 so please use the corresponding toolchain. |
| 2007-04-28 | Posted By: Dimitar Penev BlackfinOne has a birthday! Hello friends, BlackfinOne has a birthday! 28.Apr 2006 - BlachfinOne open hardware project project was started. Since then lot of things have happened : -We have released BlackfinOne version 2.1.1 in which all the hardware errors are fixed. In addition we support NAND FLASH memory now. -The idea of BlacfinOne-Tiny board was born -Astfin project selected BlackfinOne as primary hardware platform (www.astfin.org) -David Rowe has made his new telephony platform IP04 IP-PBX reusing some parts of BlackfinOne. (www.rowetel.com) We have 15126 downloads, 723 forum posts and 11 developers We would like to say thank you to all involved. We have had lot of fun and at the same time we have learned a lot together. BlackfinOne team |
| 2007-04-22 | Posted By: Dimitar Penev Open Hardware T1/E1 board released! Sunday April 22, 2007, The first Open Hardware T1/E1 board for Blackfin has been released. The PR1 is a single span daughter card for BlackfinOne board with full support through astfin. All the required hardware documents are available at http://astfin.org/browser/hardware/pr1-basic/trunk or "svn co http://svn.astfin.org/hardware/pr1-basic/trunk pr1-basic" The driver is still under development, and final updates will be available in our svn shortly. (see astfin trunk) As per Mathieu, our driver Guru: "So now we do have a D channel … may be still a - 1|2 bit offset, but we are in ! we still need to identify a full Q921 frame patern sequence to confirm if MSB/LSB is ok and if we still have an offset or a frame slip … We are really close …" The fully integrated appliance with single span T1/E1, Blackfin CPU, NAND flash , hardware based echo cancellation and 128MB of SDRAM is already being developed, stay tuned...

| 2007-04-08 | Posted By: Dimitar Penev Astfin has been released! Sunday April 8, 2007. The latest Blackfin uClinux Asterisk distribution called astfin has been released. It runs Asterisk 1.4.2 on STAMP and BlackfinOne platforms, it supports 4fx and pr1 boards and will soon support the production IP04 hardware. The authors have used concept of Buildroot to make the very complex embedded build process very simple. Astfin is the successor to uCasterisk, and is where intense Blackfin Asterisk software development and testing is now focused. The svn access is available at http://astfin.org. This is the first public beta thus tester's feedback will be greatly appreciated. Astfin Team |

| 2006-12-17 | Posted By: Dimitar Penev The Blackfin One documentation project has started! The Blackfin One documentation project has started. The ultimate location for the BF1 documentation is still being determined however you can see the initial work at http://tearsoffire.org/twiki/bin/view/Projects/BlackfinOne. If you are interested in contributing to the docs or have ideas about where/how it should be hosted please contact Christopher Pepe or see http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/bf1/forum/?action=ForumBrowse&forum_id=156&_forum_action=ForumMessageBrowse&thread_id=3878. |
| 2006-11-27 | Posted By: Dimitar Penev U-Boot 1.1.5 up and running on Blackfin One 2.0.0 board! U-Boot 1.1.5 up and running on BF1 2.0.0 board! Both parallel NOR FLASH and SPI FLASH memory are supported. The two available Ethernet channels are recognized by the u-boot and are tested to work properly. |
| 2006-11-07 | Posted By: Dimitar Penev Two new boards based on BF1 2.0.0 started! BF1-tiny - SPI flash, simplified power supply, no USB interface. This board is ready for manufacturing and testing. BF1-mini - SPI flash, simplified power supply |
| 2006-10-09 | Posted By: Ivan Danov BlackFin One version 2.0.0 ready to go in a PCB house! We have been redesigning BlackFinOne to add USB/Ethernet/SD card. The design of the new schematics and PCB is ready! The whole project is attached as bf1-2.0.0.tgz in the file section. PDF version of schematics and PCB are included there also. Those interested in PCB manufacturing can use directly the gerber files. BOM file is included as well. We are going to produce several PCBs and tested the design. |
| 2006-08-02 | Posted By: Ivan Danov u-boot 1.1.3-2006R1 up and running on BF1 using SPI FLASH Intermediate version of BLACKFINONE BF532 with SPI based FLASH was successfully tested using u-boot 1.1.3-2006R1. In the near future uClinux-dist-R06R1-RC2 for BF1 (with SPI FLASH) will be released. The support files are as follow: source changes: u-boot_1.1.3-2006R1.bf1.changed_files.tar.bz2 binary files: u-boot_1.1.3-2006R1.bf1.bin.bz2 for parallel flash u-boot_1.1.3-2006R1.bf1s.bin.bz2 for SPI flash bin file u-boot_1.1.3-2006R1.bf1s.ldr.bz2 for SPI flash ldr file |
