Title: Answers to many Questions
Review: This book is a genious compilation of the Processors characteristic in depth and it toughes the obviously not direct visible problems in EMP. Understanding of Memory Architectures and the highly efficient DMA are key in designs where you want to combine real-time datastreams of Audio and Video plus a GUI and the connection to the internet. It explains very well the problems of such a system design, and how the Blackfin Processor solves those. Code optimization is a "Black Magic", where this book spends 45 pages for. This book directs you the way, but not the final solution. Additional the CD-ROM is filled with the full Development Software for the Blackfin. Fully functional after registration on the Analog Devices web site for 90 days. Also manuals for all Processors, Compiler, Simulator, Evaluation Boards and much more is on the CD. Worth, to have this book in your standard library. 5 Stars.
