Introduction; Program Development Flow - Analog Devices VisualDSP++ 3.5 Manual

1 INTRODUCTION

The majority of this manual describes the loader program (or loader util-
ity) as well as the process of loading and splitting, the final phase of a DSP
application program's development flow. The process of initializing
on-chip and off-chip memories, is often referred to as booting.
The majority of this chapter applies to all 16-bit processors. Information
applicable to a particular target processor, or to a particular processor fam-
ily, is provided in the following chapters.

Program Development Flow

The flow can be split into three phases:
1. "Compiling and Assembling"
2. "Linking"
3. "Loading and Splitting"
A brief description of each phase is as follows.
