I gave a brief seminar today at work discussing board-level serial protocols, specifically I2C(Inter-Integrated Circuit) and SPI. It was largely a comparative look at high-level implementation of circuits using the two standards, followed by a brief look at interfacing SPI devices to the Analog Devices 21369 DSP SPI Controller.
The talk went well enough, but it’s the side conversations that might become dangerous. Speaking with a couple of my co-workers, I’m seeing a chance to turn a neat idea into a funded project. But if it doesn’t get funded, it might become a slightly expensive personal project. It’s possible that I may try to get a Blackfin sent home1.
1 This doesn’t mean that I’ve given up my search for a DSP development tool-chain that runs under linux.
