ADSP-21261
EVALUATION KIT
Analog Devices offers a range of EZ-KIT Lite^®† evaluation plat-
forms to use as a cost-effective method to learn more about
developing or prototyping applications with Analog Devices
processors, platforms, and software tools. Each EZ-KIT Lite
includes an evaluation board along with an evaluation suite of
the VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment
with the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. Also included
are sample application programs, power supply, and a USB
cable. All evaluation versions of the software tools are limited
for use only with the EZ-KIT Lite product.
The USB controller on the EZ-KIT Lite board connects the
board to the USB port of the user’s PC, enabling the Visu-
alDSP++ evaluation suite to emulate the on-board processor in-
circuit. This permits the customer to download, execute, and
debug programs for the EZ-KIT Lite system. It also allows in-
circuit programming of the on-board flash device to store user-
specific boot code, enabling the board to run as a standalone
unit, without being connected to the PC.
With a full version of VisualDSP++ installed (sold separately),
engineers can develop software for the EZ-KIT Lite or any cus-
tom-defined system. Connecting an Analog Devices JTAG
emulator to the EZ-KIT Lite board enables high speed, nonin-
trusive emulation.
DESIGNING AN EMULATOR-COMPATIBLE DSP
BOARD (TARGET)
The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every
DSP developer needs to test and debug hardware and software
systems. Analog Devices has supplied an IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test
access port (TAP) on each JTAG DSP. Nonintrusive in-circuit
emulation is assured by the use of the processor’s JTAG inter-
face—the emulator does not affect target system loading or
timing. The emulator uses the TAP to access the internal fea-
tures of the DSP, allowing the developer to load code, set
breakpoints, observe variables, observe memory, and examine
registers. The DSP must be halted to send data and commands,
but once an operation has been completed by the emulator, the
DSP system is set running at full speed with no impact on sys-
tem timing.
To use these emulators, the target board must include a header
that connects the DSP’s JTAG port to the emulator.
For details on target board design issues including mechanical
layout, single processor connections, multiprocessor scan
chains, signal buffering, signal termination, and emulator pod
logic, see the EE-68: Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical
Reference on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)—
use site search on “EE-68.” This document is updated regularly
to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.
