ADI has an app note on two-word 32-bit floating point for the Blackfin.
It should be quite easy to extend the routines for 64-bits.

Kevin,
This might be helpful:
http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html
SoftFloat is a free, high-quality software implementation of the
IEC/IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-point Arithmetic. ... SoftFloat
fully implements the four most common floating-point formats: single
precision (32 bits), double precision (64 bits), extended double
precision (80 bits), and quadruple precision (128 bits). All required
rounding modes, exception flags, and special values are supported.

Hi,
I need to do some simple 64-bit floating point calculations on frequency
(damn hardware guys...) and the BlackFin only supports 32 bit floats.
Anyone got some maths libraries that will help me out.
