 ! ABOUT !
 =========

<marketing blurb>
Blackfin Processors embody a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processor, ideally
suited for products where a convergence of capabilities are necessary -
multi-format audio, video, voice and image processing; multi-mode baseband and
packet processing; control processing; and real-time security.  The Blackfin's
unique combination of software flexibility and scalability has gained it
widespread adoption in convergent applications.

The Blackfin processor is wholly developed by Analog Devices Inc.
