PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF609 EZ-KIT Lite
Devices, Inc. low-cost evaluation system for the ADSP-BF60x Blackfin
processors.
The ADSP-BF609 processor is a member of the Blackfin family of prod-
ucts, incorporating the Analog Devices/Intel Micro Signal Architecture
(MSA). 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.
ADSP-BF60x Blackfin processors embody a new type of embedded pro-
cessor designed specifically to meet the computational demands and
power constraints of today's automotive systems, embedded industrial,
instrumentation, and power/motor control applications.
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the
®
CrossCore Embedded Studio (CCES) development tools to test capabil-
ities of the ADSP-BF60x Blackfin processors. The CCES development
environment aids advanced application code development and debug,
such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and assembly
• Load, run, step, halt, and set breakpoints in application programs
• Read and write data and program memory
