I am starting to learn the DSP by using the Analog DSP. I am wondering which one is "best" - I do not have target application now. just for learning DSP. What I mean "best" is that the chip architecture is current, stable, widely used, easy use(?), and the support for the chip last longer - some chip might be outdated. TigerSharc? Sharc? - will be replaced by TigerSharc? Blackfin?
which is best?

It is a floating point "SHARC" and it has nice C/C++ development tools and a cheap development board from ADI an also from other vendors. It seems to be positioned as a high-volume, low-end floating point chip for consumer audio. It is very active, so it is well supported and likely to stay around for a little while.
