PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-21369 EZ-KIT Lite®, Analog Devices, Inc. evaluation system for ADSP-21369 SHARC® processors.
The SHARC processors are based on a 32-bit super Harvard architecture that includes a unique memory architecture comprised of two large on-chip, dual-ported SRAM blocks coupled with a sophisticated IO pro- cessor, which gives a SHARC processor the bandwidth for sustained high-speed computations. SHARC processors represents today’s de facto standard for floating-point processing, targeted toward premium audio applications.
The evaluation system is designed to be used in conjunction with the VisualDSP++® development environment to test the capabilities of the ADSP-21369 SHARC processors. The VisualDSP++ development envi- ronment gives you the ability to perform advanced application code development and debug, such as:
•Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written in C++, C, and ADSP-21369 assembly
•Load, run, step, halt, and set breakpoints in application program
•Read and write data and program memory
•Read and write core and peripheral registers
•Plot memory
