Introduction - Analog Devices ADSP-21161N EZ-KIT LITE Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-21161N 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-
21161N floating-point digital signal processor (DSP).
development environment 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-2116x assembly
• Load, run, step-in, step-out, step-over, 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-21161N, from a PC, is achieved through a USB port or an
optional JTAG emulator. The USB interface gives unrestricted access to the
ADSP-21161N 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

Example programs are provided in the ADSP-21161N EZ-KIT Lite, which
demonstrate the capabilities of the evaluation board.
Note: The VisualDSP++ license provided with this EZ-KIT Lite evaluation
system limits the use of program memory to 5k words.
The board's features include:
• Analog Devices ADSP-21161N DSP
o 100MHz Core Clock Speed
o Core Clock Mode Jumper Configurable.
• USB Debugging Interface
