ADSP-21467

The SHARC ADSP-2146x evaluation boards provide developers with a cost-effective method for initial evaluation of the ADSP-21469 and ADSP-21467 SHARC^® Processors via a USB-based, PC-hosted tool set. With these kits, users can learn more about the processors hardware and software development, and quickly prototype a wide range of applications.

This evaluation boards is designed to be used in conjunction with either the CrossCore^® Embedded Studio (CCES) or VisualDSP++^® development environments to test the capabilities of the ADSP-2146x SHARC processors.

The development environment aids advanced application code development and debug, such as:

• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written in C++, C, and ADSP-21469 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

Access to the processor from a personal computer (PC) is achieved through a USB port or an external JTAG emulator. The USB interface of the standalone debug agent gives unrestricted access to the ADSP-21469 processor and evaluation board’s peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emulators offer faster communication between the host PC and target hardware.

The ADSP-21469 EZ-KIT Lite^® provides developers with a cost-effective method for initial evaluation of the ADSP-2146x SHARC^® Processors via a USB-based, PC-hosted tool set. With this EZ-KIT Lite, users can learn more about the Analog Devices (ADI) ADSP-21469 hardware and software development, and quickly prototype a wide range of applications.

The EZ-KIT Lite includes an ADSP-21469 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.

The SHARC Audio EZ-Extender provides users the ability to evaluate audio application on the ADSP-214xx EZ-Board/ EZ-KIT Lite. Software examples are provided in the latest update of VisualDSP++.

The EZ-Extender consists of three Analog Devices AD1939 audio codecs and provides 24 channels of analog audio out, 12 channels of analog audio in. The primary codec operates in both in I2S and TDM mode and can run at sample rates of 48, 96, or 192 KHz. The other two codec are configured to operate in Dual Line TDM mode. The three codecs together can operate in dual line TDM mode for 24 analog channels out and 12 analog channels in at a sample rate of 192KHz.

The audio input and output is available via multiple RCA connectors. A group of switches are available if a user should decide to evaluate the audio codec inputs and outputs in a differential mode. (NOTE: DB25 to XLR cables are not supplied with the EZ-Extender).
