ADSP-BF707 EZ-KIT Lite Evaluation System Manual ix
PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF707 EZ-KIT Lite
®
, Analog
Devices, Inc. low-cost evaluation system for the ADSP-BF70x Blackfin®
processors.
The ADSP-BF707 processor is a member of the Blackfin family of prod-
ucts. Blackfin processors combine a dual-MAC state-of-the-art signal
processing engine, the advantages of a clean, orthogonal RISC-like micro-
processor instruction set, and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD)
multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. New
enhancements to the B™ core add 32-bit MAC and 16-bit com-
plex MAC support, cache enhancements, branch prediction and other
instruction set improvements—all while maintaining instruction set com-
patibility to previous Blackfin products.
The EZ-KIT Lite 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 an ICE-1000 emulator, while the
EZ-Board® version is supported by the ICE-1000 or ICE-2000 emulator.
Expansion Interface III is provided for connecting a camera or audio
extender board.
Traditional mechanical switches for changing the board’s factory setup
have been removed in favor of I
2
C controlled software switches. The only
remaining mechanical switches are the boot mode switch and push
buttons.
