Some queries about blackfin processor

Hi,

I am using Blackfin ADSP-BF533 Processor for the audio system. I am new
to DSP. Can you clarify the following queries?

1. Basically what Blackfin processor will do? I have to do noise
cancellation and filtering? Will it do by inbuilt code? Or have to
develop?
2. I have to burn the firmware into Blackfin? Or inbuilt code is
there inside?
3. I studied that there is a code in the boot ROM which is used to
initialize the processor? So should I have done anything apart from this
initialization?

Thanks and Regards,

You have to write your own code, or copy someone elses. There are a lot
of code examples on the next. Check the ADI web site and the uCLinux
for blackfin (http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/)

You have to burn a flash to boot the processor. And it will be external
to the processor.

The boot ROM loads internal memory with what is on your external flash,
then jumps to that program. That's all it does. So yes, there is a lot
you need to do. The Blackfin is a very powerful processor, you can make
it do a lot of things. But you have to decide what it is you want it to
do!
