Introduction - Analog Devices ADSP-21160 EZ-KIT LITE Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-21160 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-21160 digital signal processor (DSP). The VisualDSP++ development
environment gives you the ability to perform advanced application code
development and debug such as:
• Creating, compiling, assembling, and linking application programs written
in C++, C and ADSP-2116x assembly
• Loading, running, stepping, halting, and setting breakpoints in application
programs
• Reading and writing data and program memory
• Reading and writing core and peripheral registers
• Plotting memory
Access to the ADSP-21160 from a PC is achieved through a USB port or an
optional JTAG emulator. The USB interface gives unrestricted access to the
ADSP-21160 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

The ADSP-21160 EZ-KIT Lite evaluation system provides example programs to
demonstrate the capabilities of the DSP and the evaluation board.
NOTE: The VisualDSP++ license provided with this EZ-KIT Lite evaluation
system limits the use of memory to 21K-words of program memory.
