1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-21535 EZ-KIT Lite evaluation system. The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the VisualDSP++ development environment to test the capabilities of the ADSP- 21535 digital signal processor (DSP). The VisualDSP++ development environment 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-2153x assembly
•Load, run, step, halt, and set breakpoints in application programs
•Read and write data and program memory
•Read and write core and peripheral registers
•Plot memory
Access to the ADSP-21535 from a PC is achieved through a USB port or an optional JTAG emulator. The USB interface gives unrestricted access to the ADSP-21535 DSP and the evaluation board peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emulators offer faster communication between the host PC and target hardware. Analog Devices carries a wide range of in-circuit emulation products. To learn more about Analog Devices emulators and DSP development tools, go to http://www.analog.com/dsp/tools/.
ADSP-21535 EZ-KIT Lite provides example programs to demonstrate the capabilities of the evaluation board.
NOTE: The VisualDSP++ license provided with this EZ-KIT Lite evaluation system limits the use of internal memory to 176KB.
The board’s features include:
•Analog Devices ADSP-21535 DSP
o 300 MHz Core Clock Speed – default o Core Clock Speed – switch configurable o Boot Mode – switch configurable
•USB Debugging Interface
o NOTE: this is not the DSP’s USB interface
