Preface - Analog Devices ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite Getting Started

PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite
Devices, Inc. evaluation system for ADSP-BF537 Blackfin
Blackfin processors are embedded processors that support a Media
Instruction Set Computing (MISC) architecture. This architecture is the
natural merging of RISC, media functions, and digital signal processing
(DSP) characteristics towards delivering signal processing performance in
a microprocessor-like environment.
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the Visu-
®
alDSP++ development environment to test the capabilities of
ADSP-BF537 Blackfin 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-BF537 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-BF537 processor from a personal computer (PC) is
achieved through a USB port or an optional JTAG emulator. The USB
interface provides unrestricted access to the ADSP-BF537 processor and
the evaluation board peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emulators offer
