Low-Cost DSP Development Platforms Accelerate Time to Market for Image Sensing Applications
Analog Devices have introduced a low-cost Blackfin® processor-based development platform targeting demanding ultra-low-power, real-time applications for image sensing. The ADZS-BF707-BLIP2 Blackfin Low Power Imaging Platform (BLIP) leverages the ADSP-BF707 Blackfin processor as well as Analog Devices’ optimized software libraries for video occupancy sensing. The platform includes a license for ADI’s latest CrossCore® Embedded Studio development tools and all hardware for real-time debug and development.
The Blackfin Low-power Imaging Platform (BLIP) solution offers engineers a low cost out of the box form factor development platform with multiple functional profiles covering intelligent motion sensing, people counting, vehicle detection, and face detection deployable in both indoor and outdoor use cases.

Video Occupancy Sensor Module
The Analog Devices BLIP hardware platform is delivered with a preloaded occupancy software module that has been optimized to detect the presence and behaviour of humans or vehicles within indoor and outdoor environments. This advanced detection operation provides significantly improved performance compared to single pixel PIR sensor solutions targeting lighting control, climate control, and access control applications.
The BLIP system includes an intuitive configuration GUI and enables real-time analysis of captured video, as well as video output/display through an on-board USB port, making it a highly valuable tool for product development. Additionally, the associated documentation package is well positioned to help customers accelerate their time to market.
