Development Tools

The ADSP-2136x processor is supported by VisualDSP++, an easy to use

Integrated Development and Debugging Environment (IDDE).

VisualDSP++ allows you to manage projects from start to finish from

within a single, integrated interface. Because the project development and

debug environments are integrated, you can move easily between editing,

building, and debugging activities.

This section identifies differences between the ADSP-2136x processors

and previous SHARC processors: ADSP-2116x, ADSP-2106x, and

ADSP-21065L. Like the ADSP-2116x family, the ADSP-2136x processor

family is based on the original ADSP-2106x SHARC family. The

ADSP-2136x processor preserves much of the ADSP-2106x architecture

and is code compatible to the ADSP-2116x, while extending performance

and functionality. For background information on SHARC processors

and the ADSP-2106x family processors, see the ADSP-2106x SHARC

User's Manual or the ADSP-21065L SHARC DSP Technical Reference.

The parallel port includes a new packing mode which allows DMA for

instructions and data to and from 8-bit external memory. The parallel

port supports SRAM, EPROM, and flash memory. There are two modes

supported for transfers. In one mode, 8-bit data and an 8-bit address can

be transferred. In another mode, data and address lines are multiplexed to

transfer 16 bits of address/data.
