ADSP-BF537 Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference
1-29
Introduction
Development Tools
The processor is supported with a complete set of CrossCore
®
software
and hardware development tools, including Analog Devices emulators and
the Vi+ development environment. The same emulator hard-
ware that supports other Analog Devices products also fully emulates the
ADSP-BF53x processor family.
The Vi+ project management environment lets programmers
develop and debug an application. This environment includes an
easy-to-use assembler that is based on an algebraic syntax, an archiver
(librarian/library builder), a linker, a loader, a cycle-accurate instruc-
tion-level simulator, a C/C++ compiler, and a C/C++ runtime library that
includes DSP and mathematical functions. A key point for these tools is
C/C++ code efficiency. The compiler has been developed for efficient
translation of C/C++ code to Blackfin processor assembly. The Blackfin
processor has architectural features that improve the efficiency of com-
piled C/C++ code.
Debugging both C/C++ and assembly programs with the Vi+
debugger, programmers can:
• View mixed C/C++ and assembly code (interleaved source and
object information)
• Insert breakpoints
• Set conditional breakpoints on registers, memory, and stacks
• Trace instruction execution
• Perform linear or statistical profiling of program execution
• Fill, dump, and graphically plot the contents of memory
• Perform source level debugging
• Create custom debugger windows
