| Analog Devices, National Instruments Streamline Embedded Development
with LabVIEW Embedded Technology for Blackfin Processors | | | |
Analog
Devices Inc. and National Instruments today announced availability for the public beta version of the NI LabVIEW
Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors, which provides design engineers early access to a seamless, graphical
dataflow development paradigm to directly target Blackfin Processors. With this new intuitive software, more
engineers can take advantage of embedded technology to increase productivity and reduce time to application.
“Analog Devices is excited to collaborate with National Instruments to
significantly increase the productivity of embedded designers by combining LabVIEW graphical programming with our
world-class Blackfin Processors and development tools,” said Jerry McGuire, general manager, Convergent Platform and
Services Group at Analog Devices. “The new LabVIEW Embedded technology provides a development environment that is at
the forefront of the industry. The NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors offers simplified embedded
programming for domain experts and a high-level graphical tool for traditional design engineers as well as low-level
optimized algorithms, on-chip peripherals and component drivers – helping companies deliver products to market in
record time.”
The beta version builds on LabVIEW Embedded technology and includes
Blackfin-specific, hand-optimized analysis and signal processing functions; integrated I/O such as audio and video
DACs, ADCs and CODECs; as well as on-chip debugging. Engineers can completely design their applications using the
intuitive LabVIEW graphical dataflow programming paradigm and integrate legacy C code within their LabVIEW diagrams
for extended functionality. The new LabVIEW software reduces time to application by seamlessly integrating with
ADI’s VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment for real-time, interactive debugging and deployment directly
to Blackfin Processors. The NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors beta version also provides easy
connectivity to the extensive range of NI test and measurement hardware for deploying external stimulation and test
methodologies early in the development process.
“Traditionally, engineers have relied on a
limited number of experts to program their embedded applications through low-level, text-based programming languages
such as assembly and C,” said Tim Dehne, NI senior vice president of R&D. “With the release of the NI LabVIEW
Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors beta version, National Instruments and Analog Devices are working
together to help more engineers and scientists develop embedded applications. By taking advantage of ADI’s Blackfin
Processors with the proven programming productivity of LabVIEW, more embedded design ideas and projects will become
a reality.”
LabVIEW Embedded technology enhances the graphical LabVIEW platform for rapid
simulation, design, prototyping, implementing, validating and verifying embedded applications. As a design tool,
LabVIEW dramatically speeds prototyping development and design implementations through a powerful, high-level
graphical programming language. Engineers and scientists now can use LabVIEW for simulation and rapid prototyping on
Blackfin itself or the National Instruments CompactRIO embedded control system and subsequently deploy to their
custom targets.
With this new LabVIEW module, more engineers and scientists can access ADI’s
Blackfin Processors – the first in a new breed of 16/32-bit embedded processors designed specifically to meet the
computational demands and power constraints of today’s embedded audio, video and communications applications. The
Blackfin Processor family combines a 32-bit RISC-like instruction set with 16-bit dual multiply accumulate (MAC)
signal processing functionality and ease-of-use attributes found in general-purpose microcontrollers. Dynamic Power
Management enables breakthrough power consumption required for many battery-operated applications by allowing the
simultaneous adjustment of operating frequency and voltage under application control. Because of their code
compatibility, all Blackfin Processors provide portability of design.
Analog Devices and National
Instruments will launch the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors later this year. Engineers who
want to participate in the beta program can visit www.ni.com/info and enter Blackfin for more information. More
information about ADI peripherals for Blackfin Processors is available at www.analog.com/blackfinlabview. |
