Webcast: Targeting Analog Devices Blackfin and SHARC processors from MATLAB

The Mathworks Today many signal processing and control algorithms developed in MATLAB and Simulink are implemented on Analog Devices Blackfin® and SHARC® processors.

In this webcast, MathWorks and Analog Devices' engineers will demonstrate how a signal processing design, using an audio parametric equalizer as an example, can be designed in MATLAB and Simulink, tested through simulation, implemented on a Blackfin processor, and interactively tuned in real-time from a MATLAB GUI using the processor's Background Telemetry Channel (BTC).
