My apologize for this ... At this point ADI are not able to commit to maintaining the Blackfin port in the Linux Kernel. As such we propose that we remove the port from the active mainline so that it does not interfere with other kernel development. Moving forward we are still in effort to get closely involved with the community and in trying to support Linux for newer multi-core processors.
I want to show my thanks sincerely to the community for supporting on us, and appreciation your understanding on this.
