Blackfin A-V EZ-Extender Manual ix
PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the Blackfin
®
A-V EZ-Extender
®
, Analog
Devices, Inc. (ADI) extension board to the EZ-KIT Lite
®
evaluation sys-
tem for ADSP-BF533, ADSP-BF537, and ADSP-BF561 Blackfin
processors.
The 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.
The EZ-KIT Lite and A-V EZ-Extender are designed to be used in con-
junction with the VisualDSP++
®
development environment.
VisualDSP++ offers a powerful programming tool with new flexibility that
significantly decreases the time required to port software code to a proces-
sor, reducing time-to-market.
