Blackfin Landscape LCD EZ-Extender Manual ix
PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the Blackfin
®
Landscape LCD EZ-Extender
®
,
Analog Devices, Inc. extender board to the EZ-KIT Lite
®
/EZ-Board
®
evaluation system for the ADSP-BF526, ADSP-BF537, ADSP-BF538,
and ADSP-BF548 Blackfin 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.
EZ-KIT Lites and Landscape LCD EZ-Extenders are designed to be used
in conjunction with the CrossCore
®
Embedded Studio (CCES) and Visu-
alDSP++
®
software development environments. The development
environment facilitates advanced application code development and
debug, such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and Landscape LCD EZ-Extender 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
