Preface - Analog Devices SHARC Audio EZ-Extender Manual

PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing the SHARC® Audio EZ-Extender
Devices, Inc. daughter board to the EZ-Board
ADSP-21xxx processors.
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 processor,
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 EZ-Board and SHARC Audio EZ-Extender are designed to be used
in conjunction with the CrossCore
®
alDSP++ software development environments. The development
environment facilitates advanced application code development and
debug, such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and SHARC Audio EZ-Extender 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
