Unless, you are interested in low power or video, I would suggest that the
SHARC is a much better DSP for audio. It supports 32 bit fixed and floating
point math versus 16 bit on the Blackfin.
The $100 kits were over a year ago and available by special promotion from
ADI thru its distributors. I think it sells for $300.

The Blackfin EZ-Kit is very good value if you can get one on special offer
like I did. I think it was < $100.

Hi Al!
Which board would you recommend to start with the blackfin?
Are there Alternatives to the ADI boards?
Best regards,

Currently, the Analog Devices SHARC is the most popular DSP for audio
applications. The EZ Kits are a good choice for learning. We make SHARC
based boards as well.

What is the best DSP experiment kit to get for a newbie who wants to get
feet wet (especially audio processing)? Have tried EZ kit lite but are there
any better ones?
