The Evaluation Process
set breakpoints, single-step through code, view memory, fill/dump mem- ory, perform real-time data manipulation, profile execution and memory access, plot data, and use standard I/O.
EZ-KIT Lite evaluation systems include a serial number, that when regis- tered, yields full VisualDSP++ license status for 90 days from the date of installation. After 90 days, the license changes to restricted status, which limits the size of the application that can be built and supports debug agent connectivity only. Refer to “Software Development on SHARC Pro- cessors” on page 2-61to see where the EZ-KIT Lite fits into the phases of program development.
Most EZ-KIT Lite boards include three expansion connectors configured in the shape of a U. Several third-party expansion boards connect to the EZ-KIT Lite board via these connectors. See the “EZ-Boards” on page 2-36for details.
EZ-Board
SHARC EZ-Board evaluation boards provide developers with a low cost platform for initial evaluation of SHARC processors via an external JTAG emulator or standalone debug agent board.
To debug, you must have a debug agent board or an emulator.
The EZ-Board has an expansion interface that allows for modularity with different EZ-Extender boards.
The following sections briefly describe EZ-KIT Lite and EZ-Board devel- opment systems that are currently available for SHARC processors.
