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 com-
patible 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 Blackfin to monitor and control the target board
processor during emulation. The emulator provides full-speed
emulation, allowing inspection and modification of memory,
registers, and processor stacks. Nonintrusive in-circuit emula-
tion is assured by the use of the processor’s JTAG interface—the
emulator does not affect target system loading or timing.
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-BF534/ADSP-BF536/ADSP-BF537
processors, use the ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite board available
from Analog Devices. Order part number ADDS-BF537-
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
The Analog Devices family of emulators are tools that every sys-
tem developer needs in order to test and debug hardware and
software systems. Analog Devices has supplied an IEEE 1149.1
JTAG Test Access Port (TAP) on each JTAG processor. The
emulator uses the TAP to access the internal features of the pro-
cessor, allowing the developer to load code, set breakpoints,
observe variables, observe memory, and examine registers. The
processor must be halted to send data and commands, but once
an operation has been completed by the emulator, the processor
system 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 Analog Devices JTAG Emulation Technical Reference
(EE-68) on the Analog Devices website under
www.analog.com/ee-notes. This document is updated regularly
to keep pace with improvements to emulator support.
