1 Preface
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-SC589 EZ-Board®, Analog Devices, Inc. evaluation system for
the ADSP-SC58x family of SHARC® processors.
The ADSP-SC589 processor is based on the SHARC+™ core dual processor with the ARM® Cortex-
A5™ processor core and is designed for a wide array of markets, from automotive and pro-audio to
industrial-based applications that require high floating-point performance. The EZ-Board is shipped
with all of the necessary hardware—you can start the evaluation immediately. The package contains
the standalone evaluation board, CE-approved power supply, and USB cable. The EZ-KIT Lite®
version ships with the ICE-1000 emulator, while the EZ-Board version requires the customer to
provide an ICE-1000 or ICE-2000 emulator.
Expansion Interface III connectors are provided for interfacing with additional extender boards to
provide LCD, camera, video, and audio.
Traditional mechanical switches for changing the board's factory setup have been removed in favor of
I2C controlled software switches. The only remaining mechanical switches are the boot mode switch,
JTAG configuration switches, and push buttons.
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the -CrossCore® Embedded Studio
(CCES) development tools to test capabilities of the ADSP-SC58x processors. 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
