Hello, has anyone heard what will be the next DSP to surpass the Tiger Sharc from ADI? Thanks, joe
After the Tiger Sharc what's next?

The Blackfin is a kind of catfish. Maybe they should choose a kind of dogfish next. Steve

The BlackFin architecture is obviously incomplete; it looks like they meant to do a lot more but they run out of time and money.

I haven't heard of any problems with the BlackFin. This is interesting news, I must not be reading the newsgroups as I should. So you are saying the BlackFin line of DSP's have problems? I just want to know before I recommend a design using one. Thanks, joe

BlackFin works, but you got to be careful especially when designing a large system with it. Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Design Consultant http://www.abvolt.com

In particular when compared to Using Ti's c64x or c67x, its quite tough when debugging Using visual dsp.... Using Ti's processors with CCS is like heaven and getting back to blackfinn.is quite tough.. As vladimir pointed out, they ran out of money and time designing this processor, however the point to remember is ADI is concentrating on "other" business a little more..i guess.. if you look at the ADI'S 9353 wimax rf transceiver, theirs is the first in market..having great guys like maxim-dalals, Ti, infineon, freescale and many others in the field..they came out with that product first..
