We at section5 have a lot of experience with the Blackfin architecture. Among other things, we are proud to have contributed to the GNU tools:
- gas/nisa rewrite in 2004
- In Circuit Emulation JTAG debugger for GNU toolchain (ICEbear/ICEbearPlus)
Due to decreasing requests, only the flash tools are currently maintained with the default ICEbear hardware.
Until end of 2022, all free Blackfin support for ICEbear customers will reach end of life.
For recent updates of Blackfin flash programmer drivers, see BFloader driver downloads
