PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-TS101S EZ-KIT Lite
Devices (ADI) evaluation system for TigerSHARC
embedded processors.
The TigerSHARC processor is a static super scalar (SSS) architecture tar-
geted at software-defined radio applications. In these wireless
infrastructure applications, the TigerSHARC processor is replacing
field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the chip rate processing appli-
cations for third generation cellular. The performance, flexibility,
multiprocessing and IO capabilities of the TigerSHARC processor makes
it superior to FPGA implementations.
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the Visu-
®
alDSP++ development environment to test the capabilities of the
ADSP-TS101S TigerSHARC processor. The VisualDSP++ 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-TS101S assembly
• Load, run, step-in, step-out, step-over, halt, and set breakpoints in
application program
• Profile programs
• Read and write data and program memory
