PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the Blackfin
®
A-V EZ-Extender
®
, Analog
Devices, Inc. daughter board to the EZ-KIT Lite
®
evaluation system for
the ADSP-BF533, ADSP-BF537, and ADSP-BF561 Blackfin processors.
Blackfin processors are embedded processors that support a Media
Instruction Set Computing (MISC) architecture. This architecture is the
natural merging of RISC, media functions, and digital signal processing
characteristics towards delivering signal processing performance in
a microprocessor-like environment.
EZ-KIT Lites and A-V EZ-Extenders are designed to be used in conjunc-
tion with the CrossCore
®
Embedded Studio (CCES) and Vi+
®
software development environments. The development environment facil-
itates advanced application code development and debug, such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and A-V EZ-Extender 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
