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