PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF706 EZ-KIT Mini™, Analog
Devices, Inc. low-cost evaluation system for the ADSP-BF706 Blackfin®
processors.
The ADSP-BF706 processor is a member of the Blackfin family of prod-
ucts. Blackfin processors combine a dual-MAC state-of-the-art signal
processing engine, the advantages of a clean, orthogonal RISC-like micro-
processor instruction set, and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD)
multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. New
enhancements to the Blackfin+™ core add 32-bit MAC and 16-bit com-
plex MAC support, cache enhancements, branch prediction and other
instruction set improvements—all while maintaining instruction set com-
patibility to previous Blackfin products.
The EZ-KIT Mini is shipped with all of the necessary hardware—you can
start the evaluation immediately. The package contains the standalone
evaluation board and USB cable. The EZ-KIT Mini ships with an
on-board debug agent.
