Most of people use Visual DSP++ and JTAG emulator.
BlackFin is quite complicated CPU and it has a lot of subtleties.

I've been working with dsPIC microcontrollers for the past few months, but
may need something with a lot more power (like a Blackfin) to complete a
project.

What kind of tools are needed to program the Blackfin chips? Is there a
steep learning curve when first working with them?

Thanks!
