Re: Help.....DSP on ARM9 or ARM7!!!!



Hello,

I strongly disagree with (some of) the other posters:

- That processing won't need THAT much computational power as someone
mentioned (1GHz+ ARM9).
- Either case, DSPs are made for that sort of thing.

But, what if you need control processing, besides number crunching?
Here, a much more compact and flexible solution is desired.

I strongly recommend you to have a look at Analog Devices' Blackfin
family of processors. They have both computational (800+ MMACs) and
control capabilities, as well as nice set of peripherals: SDRAM
controller, USB, Ehternet, CAN, UARTs, Timers, RTC, core voltage
regulators, PPI, etc.

What you mention is exactly the kind of job that Blackfin was designed
for!
