Product Details

The ADSP-21479 EZ-KIT Lite® provides developers with a cost-effective method for initial evaluation of the ADSP-21478/21479 SHARCs® Processors via a USB-based, PC-hosted tool set. With this EZ-KIT Lite, users can learn more about the Analog Devices (ADI) ADSP-21479 hardware and software development, and quickly prototype a wide range of applications.

 

The EZ-KIT Lite includes an ADSP-21479 SHARC Processor desktop evaluation board along with an evaluation suite of the VisualDSP++® development and debugging environment, including the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. The evaluation suite of VisualDSP++ is designed to be used with the EZ-KIT Lite only.

 

The EZ-KIT Lite also comes with a standalone debug agent board that is removable to allow a user to plug-in an external emulator.

Software Development Tools

SigmaStudio for SHARC is a programming, development, and tuning software environment that allows an audio designer to graphically design and program audio applications utilizing an extensive set of pre-built audio algorithms.

Software Modules

The Digital Theatre Systems (DTS) Surround Sensation Decoder library for the SHARC processor is an audio post-processing module that delivers an enhanced stereo experience from a multi-channel surround source.
The MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2 decoder library (with DAB and DRM support) for the SHARC processor implements a combination of Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Spectral Band Replication (SBR) and Parametric Stereo (PS), standardized as the High-Efficiency v2 profile in MPEG-4 (HE AAC v2).
The Digital Theatre Systems (DTS) Neo:X Decoder library for the SHARC processor is an audio post-processing module that maximizes the perceived loudness for a stereo source without cause audible distortion.
The Digital Theatre Systems (DTS) Enhance Decoder library for the SHARC processor dynamically equalizes stereo audio to give improved brightness at all volume levels.
