Are the Blackfin Processors fixed-point or floating-point processors?
The Blackfin Processors have a 16-bit fixed-point Dual MAC architecture that includes a 32-bit RISC MCU instruction set and four 8-bit Video ALUs in it. You can choose to have the processor perform 32-bit fixed point calculations natively, or you can emulate 32-bit floating point by way of an optimized library provided by ADI. For native 32-bit floating-point processor operation, consider ADI’s SHARC and TigerSHARC processors.
