      8 Blackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally
      9 suited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary -
     10 multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and
     11 packet processing; control processing; and real-time security.  The Blackfin's
     12 unique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it
     13 widespread adoption in convergent applications.

     34  ! TOOLCHAIN !
     35  =============
     36 
     37 To compile the Blackfin aspects, you'll need the GNU toolchain configured for
     38 the Blackfin processor.  You can obtain such a cross-compiler here:
