| 2009-03-08 | Posted By: Robin Getz Linux Devices Survey http://www.linuxdevices.com has launched its ninth-annual Embedded Linux Market Survey, and invites all readers to participate. Don't miss this opportunity to help shape the industry, by answering 22 quick questions about developer preferences and industry trends. Vote today, here: http://www.linuxdevices.com/cgi-bin/survey/survey.cgi?id=02252009112314 Over the last nine years, LinuxDevices.com's annual survey has become an important data set for industry analysts and decision makers, according to the site's executive editor, Henry Kingman. Noting that the results now reflect the viewpoints of more than 400,000 highly technical readers, Kingman stated, "Our annual survey provides an excellent way to identify key market trends. The results are frequently quoted by analysts, embedded Linux vendors, device-makers using Linux, and venture capital firms." Kingman added, "The brief, 22-question survey only takes a few minutes to complete!"  Discussions |

| 2009-03-24 | Posted By: Robin Getz WMA for Blackfin/Linux According to the ADI Website: http://www.analog.com/en/embedded-processing-dsp/blackfin/BF_WINDOWS_MEDIA_AUDIO_STANDARD_DECODER/processors/product.html They have a Windows Media Audio (WMA) Decoder, which has been validated with the GNU toolchain (bfin-elf, bfin-linux-uclibc, and bfin-uclinux) on the ADSP-BF533, BF527 & BF548. The decoder is only available in object code format, and you must sign a license agreement with ADI prior to being shipped anything. Details are on the web page referenced above. I have never tried this, never seen/heard it, but I have been told it works great. Your milage may vary. Support for the decoder - does not come from this site - it comes from the link above.

| 2009-08-07 | Posted By: Mike Frysinger Server Updates The Blackfin servers have been migrated to the Debian distro due to poor upgrade support in Fedora/RHEL/SuSE for remote headless installs. In the process, the hardware for some was improved a bit. All services should be back online now (except for the nightly snapshots), so if you notice something amiss, please let us know (forum/e-mail/etc...). The nightly snapshots should be back online next week. Discussions |

| 2009-08-25 | Posted By: Sonic Zhang 2009R1 release for Blackfin Linux platform is open for download The 2009R1 release for Blackfin Linux platform is open for download now. The recommended releases are 2009R1-RC6 for Linux distribution, 2009R1-RC10 for toolchain and 2009R1-RC3 for uboot. In this release, new BF51x, bf522/4/6, bf538/9 cores and relative on-chip peripheral drivers are supported. Dual core SMP kernel and kgdb is enabled for bf561 to allow multi process application to run on both cores. Building and loading code into L2 SRAM is supported by both kernel and toolchain. Power management is full functional on all blackfin cores to save power for embedded application. All hardware anomaly in Blackfin on-chip USB is walked around to make USB driver more stable in both host and peripheral mode. A lot of new peripheral devices are enabled for blackfin, such as ad73322, ssm2602, adv7183B, ad7879, ad5588, ad5520, spi over sport, wifi over sdio, ethernet over spi, sound gardget over USB, etc. JPEG lib is optimized in assembly for blackfin. Oprofile tool is enabled again in kernel 2.6.28. On-chip ATAPI, SDIO and USB is supported in uboot. SPI Eeprom subsystem is replaced by new SPI flash subsystem in uboot.
