ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board Evaluation System Manual
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the
CrossCore
®
Embedded Studio
(CCES) and Vi+
®
development
environments to test the capabilities of the ADSP-BF526 Blackfin proces-
sors. The development environment aids advanced application code
development and debug, such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and assembly
• Load, run, step, halt, and set breakpoints in application programs
• Read and write data and program memory
• Read and write core and peripheral registers
• Plot memory
Access to the ADSP-BF526 processor from a personal computer (PC) is
achieved through a USB port or an external JTAG emulator. The USB
interface of the standalone debug agent gives unrestricted access to the
processor and evaluation board’s peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emu-
lators offer faster communication between the host PC and target
hardware. To learn more about Analog Devices emulators and processor
development tools, go to

The ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board provides example programs to demonstrate
the product capabilities.
