Having worked with the blackFIN processor I can tell you that a major
re-write of the memory management model and many other parts of the kernel
would be required. uClinux would be a better kernel to work with or the
new Linux 2.6 kernel.
Srinivasa should contact the manufacturer (Analog Devices) as they once
claimed on their web-site that they were working on a version of Linux
for blackFIN.
