Preface; Purpose; Intended Audience - Analog Devices VISUALDSP++ 3.5 Manual

PREFACE

Thank you for purchasing Analog Devices development software for digi-
tal signal processors (DSPs).

Purpose

The VisualDSP++ 3.5 C/C++ Compiler and Library Manual for
ADSP-219x DSPs contains information about the C/C++ compiler and
run-time library program for ADSP-219x DSPs. It includes syntax for
command lines, switches, and language extensions. It leads you through
the process of using library routines and writing mixed C/C++/assembly
code.

Intended Audience

The primary audience for this manual is DSP programmers who are famil-
iar with Analog Devices DSPs. This manual assumes that the audience has
a working knowledge of the ADSP-219x DSPs architecture and instruc-
tion set and the C/C++ programming languages.
Programmers who are unfamiliar with ADSP-219x DSPs can use this
manual, but they should supplement it with other texts (such as the
appropriate hardware reference and instruction set reference) that provide
information about your ADSP-219x DSP architecture and instructions).
