ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board Evaluation System Manual
1-13
Using The ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board
The EZ-Board hardware must be connected and powered up to use
CCES with a valid evaluation or full license.
Vi+ Evaluation License
The ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board installation is part of the Vi+
installation. The EZ-Board is a licensed product that offers an unrestricted
evaluation license for the first 90 days. Once the initial unrestricted
90-day evaluation license expires:
• Vi+ restricts a connection to the ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board
via the USB port of the standalone debug agent interface only.
Connections to simulators and emulation products are no longer
allowed.
• The linker restricts a user’s program to 20 KB of memory for code
space with no restrictions for data space.
To avoid errors when opening Vi+, the EZ-KIT Lite
hardware must be connected and powered up. This is true for using
Vi+ with a valid evaluation or full license.

The ADSP-BF526 EZ-Boards are evaluation boards with the Lockbox key
pre-programmed and publicly documented—the burden of key generation
and OTP programming of public keys is removed from the customer.
Customers can still program other areas of OTP memory on the
ADSP-BF526 EZ-Board. Analog Devices publicly document the
