SHARCs and Blackfins are DSP processors manufactured by Analog Devices.

Sharcfin is a proprietary PCI interface available from Bittware.

Danville manufactures SHARC based boards for embedded applications.

So you mean Sharc processor?

The Sharc processors listed by analog devices are only the processors
and are about $6, the eval boards are about $500

hi

i was looking for sharkfin processors but i am confused,
does the sharkfin processor comes with a board on which it is already
installed and the whole module can run independent of a pc?

or the sharkfin processors listed by analog devices are only processors
and i would have to purchase the board separately. can i put multiple
processors on single board?

is the board more costly or the processor?
please advice, i am a beginner in porting my program to dsp.

thanks in advance
