Evaluation Tools

Software Modules

Analog Devices has a wide range of tested and optimized software modules available, including decoders, encoders, codecs and other algorithms that provide multimedia functions for the SHARC family. The software mod- ules allow engineers to quickly and easily incorporate these functions, providing a faster development path to the end product. In addition, the highly optimized software modules feature a consistent API and frame- work to ensure rapid development of multiple functions.

Selecting Hardware Development Tools

Hardware development tools include development and evaluation boards (such as EZ-KIT Lite or EZ-Board), daughter boards, and JTAG emulators.

Evaluation Systems

Typically, development and evaluation boards are standalone printed cir- cuit boards (PCBs) that contain a SHARC processor with other devices. Analog Devices offers two evaluation systems: EZ-KIT Lite and EZ-Board.

EZ-KIT Lite

The EZ-KIT Lite board is a low cost hardware platform that includes a SHARC processor surrounded by several other devices such as audio codecs, video encoders, video decoders, flash, SDRAM, and so on. Each EZ-KIT Lite includes a board, cable, power supply, documentation, soft- ware, and a license key.

Each EZ-KIT Lite board also includes an on-board JTAG emulator with a USB 2.0 connector and a standard 14-pin, 100-mil, JTAG header for use with high performance JTAG emulators available from Analog Devices.
