DSP dev board recommendation
I'm starting a new project to demonstrate a client's technology. I need a DSP dev kit that will allow me to bring a 16kHz audio stream in, perform some processing on it and then send it out on 100 to 200 separate channels (yes, 100, 10x10). I will design, build and interface the hardware to the dev board. But I need a good dev board to use as a platform. It should have audio input, lots of digital IO for producing the output. Serial interfaces to DAC's would be great, but I'm going to have to build my own multiplexer anyway, so I may end up using GPIO.
I've only used TI products in the past, but I've always wanted to try an AD product. I'd need a good IDE tool to program the board and a good sample project to start me off getting the audio processing going.
Can you recommend a dev board to look at? The processor family isn't critical, but I would greatly prefer a floating point processor. Having something with good Windows 10 development support is critical.
thank you, Jason

Hi,
We have Blackfin family of processor which is fixed point and SHARC which is floating point DSPs, we can provide you a high level information about that and you can choose the suitable one.
The ADSP-BF60X and ADSP-BF70X are the latest processors in Blackfin family. The ADSP-BF60x processors are the Dual-Core processor up to 1GHz with Hardware Support for HD Video Analytics. The ADSP-BF70x processors are the latest Low Power 400MHz Blackfin+ embedded processor with 1MByte L2 SRAM & DDR2/LPDDR Interface.
You can get more information about Blackfin processors in the below link:

Analog Devices' SHARC® processor family dominates the floating-point DSP market with exceptional core and memory performance and outstanding I/O throughput. With multiple products variants and price points, SHARC brings real-time floating-point processing performance to many applications where dynamic range is key. Latest products provide leading performance/power efficiency and advanced connectivity with an integrated ARM® core.
The advanced SHARC Family features, Dedicated hardware accelerators (FIR,FFT,IIR etc), Variable Instruction Set Architecture (VISA) support, additional processing element for Single Instruction, Multiple data (SIMD) support making them particularly suitable for high performance audio applications.
We would suggest you to refer the selection tables of SHARC processors, which can be found in the following link.
