ADSP-BF561
VCSE is Analog Devices’ technology for creating, using, and
reusing software components (independent modules of sub-
stantial functionality) to quickly and reliably assemble software
applications. Components can be downloaded from the Web
and dropped into the application. Component archives can be
published from within VisualDSP++. VCSE supports compo-
nent implementation in C/C++ or assembly language.
The Expert Linker can be used to visually manipulate the place-
ment of code and data in the embedded system. Memory
utilization can be viewed in a color-coded graphical form. Code
and data can be easily moved to different areas of the processor
or external memory with the drag of the mouse. Runtime stack
and heap usage can be examined. The Expert Linker is fully
compatible with existing Linker Definition File (LDF), allowing
the developer to move between the graphical and textual
environments.
Analog Devices emulators use the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test access
port of the ADSP-BF561 to monitor and control the target
board processor during emulation. The emulator provides full-
speed emulation, allowing inspection and modification of mem-
ory, registers, and processor stacks. Nonintrusive in-circuit
emulation is assured by the use of the processor’s JTAG inter-
face—the emulator does not affect the loading or timing of the
target system.
In addition to the software and hardware development tools
available from Analog Devices, third parties provide a wide
range of tools supporting the Blackfin processor family. Third
party software tools include DSP libraries, real-time operating
systems, and block diagram design tools.
EZ-KIT Lite Evaluation Board
For evaluation of ADSP-BF561 processors, use the
ADSP-BF561 EZ-KIT Lite® board available from Analog
Devices. Order part number ADDS-BF561-EZLITE. The board
comes with on-chip emulation capabilities and is equipped to
enable software development. Multiple daughter cards are
available.
DESIGNING AN EMULATOR-COMPATIBLE
PROCESSOR BOARD (TARGET)
The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every sys-
tem developer needs to test and debug hardware and software
systems. Analog Devices has supplied an IEEE 1149.1 JTAG
Test Access Port (TAP) on the ADSP-BF561. The emulator uses
the TAP to access the internal features of the processor, allow-
ing the developer to load code, set breakpoints, observe
variables, observe memory, and examine registers. The proces-
sor must be halted to send data and commands, but once an
operation has been completed by the emulator, the processor is
set running at full speed with no impact on system timing.
To use these emulators, the target board must include a header
that connects the processor’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 EE-68: Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical
Reference on the Analog Devices website (www.analog.com)—

to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.
