PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender
®
,
Analog Devices, Inc. extender board to the EZ-Board™ evaluation system
for the ADSP-BF518F, ADSP-BF526 Blackfin
®
, and ADSP-21469
SHARC
®
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.
SHARC processors are based on a 32-bit super Harvard architecture that
includes a unique memory architecture comprised of two large on-chip,
dual-ported SRAM blocks coupled with a sophisticated IO processor,
which gives a SHARC processor the bandwidth for sustained high-speed
computations. SHARC processors represents today’s de facto standard for
floating-point processing, targeted toward premium audio applications.
The EZ-Board and Blackfin/SHARC USB EZ-Extender are designed to
be used in conjunction with the Vi+
®
development environ-
ment. Vi+ offers a powerful programming tool with new
flexibility that significantly decreases the time required to port software
code to a processor, reducing time-to-market.
