Development platforms target power-sensitive embedded applications
Analog Devices has introduced two low-cost Blackfin processor-based development platforms, targeting demanding ultra-low-power, real-time applications for image sensing and advanced audio. The Blackfin Low Power Imaging Platform (BLIP) leverages the ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor as well as Analog Devices’ optimised software libraries for video occupancy sensing.
The BLIP ADSP-BF707 is a small-form-factor development platform that offers OEMs multiple functional profiles, covering intelligent motion sensing, people counting, vehicle detection, and face detection use cases. The BLIP ADSP-BF707 platform includes an intuitive configuration GUI and enables real-time analysis of captured video, as well as video output/display through an on-board USB port. This makes it a highly valuable tool for product development and accelerating time to market. Additional key features include advanced occupancy detection with optimised imaging modules and demos, and on-board CMOS image sensors from Omnivision and Aptina.
The BLIP ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor, which features more than 1MB of internal SRAM and LPDDR support, is USB powered, complete with ICE-1000 and CrossCore Embedded Studio development tools.
The ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT Mini development platform targets power-sensitive embedded applications from portable audio to sound processing and effects. Both platforms include a license for ADI’s latest CrossCore Embedded Studio development tools and all hardware for real-time debug and development.
The ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT Mini development platform offers designers a complete, small-form-factor, low-cost starter platform with on-board, high-quality audio I/O, large internal SRAM and multiple connectivity options including USB. The platform leverages ADI’s optimised development tools and includes DSP Concepts’ graphical-based Audio Weaver software tool to provide a full-featured audio module library with efficient code generation and profiling.
Key features of the platform include a low-cost, ultra-low-power ADSP-BF706 Blackfin processor with an ADAU1761 audio codec, multiple audio project options including use of Audio Weaver as well as development with the Arduino-compatible interface, and power via USB, with on-board debug agent and CrossCore Embedded Studio tools.
The BLIP ADSP-BF707, primarily for image sensing, is acheduled for availability around April 2015, at a per-unit price of $199. The ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT Mini for advanced audio is available now, priced at $69 per unit.
