Blackfin development

Analog Devices and National Instruments have launched the public beta version of the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors, which provides design engineers with a graphical dataflow development environment for Blackfin Processors.

The beta version builds on LabVIEW Embedded technology and includes Blackfin-specific, hand-optimised analysis and signal processing functions, integrated I/O such as audio and video DACs, ADCs and CODECs as well as on-chip debugging.

Using the new module, engineers can completely design their applications using LabVIEW graphical dataflow programming and also integrate legacy C code within their LabVIEW diagrams for extended functionality.

The new software can also be integrated with ADI’s VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment for real-time, interactive debugging and deployment  as well linked up with NI's range of test and measurement hardware.

Analog Devices and National Instruments will launch the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors later this year. Engineers who want to participate in a beta program can visit www.ni.com/info and enter Blackfin for more information.
