PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF561 EZ-KIT Lite
Devices, Inc. evaluation system for Blackfin
Blackfin processors support a media instruction set computing (MISC)
architecture. This architecture is the natural merging of RISC, media
functions, and digital signal processing (DSP) characteristics. Blackfin
processors deliver 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 the
ADSP-BF561 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-BF561 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-BF561 processor from a personal computer (PC) is
achieved through a USB port or an optional JTAG emulator. The USB
interface gives unrestricted access to the ADSP-BF561 processor and the
evaluation board peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emulators offer faster
