Analog Devices Launches Two Low-Cost DSP Development Platforms Based on Blackfin Processors for Image Sensing and Advanced Audio Applications

Published2015.03.16 16:54

February 27, 2015 – Analog Devices (www.analog.com, NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, has launched two low-cost development platforms based on the Blackfin® processor, targeting ultra-low-power, real-time applications for image sensing and advanced audio. One is the Blackfin Low Power Imaging Platform (BLIP), which utilizes the ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor and Analog Devices' software libraries optimized for video occupancy sensing. The other is the ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT Mini® development platform, released for power-sensitive embedded applications ranging from portable audio to sound processing and effects. Both platforms provide ADI's latest CrossCore® Embedded Studio development tools and all the hardware required for real-time debugging and development.

BLIP ADSP-BF707 Development Platform

The BLIP ADSP-BF707 is a small form factor development platform that provides end equipment manufacturers with various functional profiles, including use cases for intelligent motion sensing, people identification, vehicle detection, and facial recognition. The BLIP ADSP-BF707 platform offers an intuitive configuration GUI and enables real-time analysis of captured video in addition to video output/display via the on-board USB port. For this reason, the BLIP ADSP-BF707 has established itself as a crucial tool for shortening product development and time-to-market. Other key specifications are as follows.

• Enhanced occupancy calculation capability through the use of optimized imaging modules and demos

• ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor with over 1MB of internal SRAM and LPDDR support

• Omnivision and Aptina's On-Board CMOS Image Detectors

• USB charging, provides ICE-1000 and CrossCore Embedded Studio development tools.

ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT Mini Development Platform

The ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT mini development platform provides developers with a complete, small form factor, low-cost starter platform featuring various connectivity options such as USB, on-board, high-quality audio I/O, and large internal SRAM. This product utilizes ADI's optimized development tools, including a library of audio modules for all specifications and the Audio Weaver® software tool, a graphical DSP-concept tool that provides efficient code generation and profiling. Other major specifications are as follows.

• Low-cost, ultra-low-power ADSP-BF706 Blackfin processor with ADAU1761 audio codec

• In addition to development via an Arduino-compatible interface, various audio project options including the use of AudioWeaver®

• Provides USB and cross-core embedded studio development tools that function as on-board debug agents.
