Development Tools
The Blackfin processor is supported by the Analog Devices
CROSSCORE
VisualDSP++ Software
VisualDSP++
enabling programmers to move easily between editing, building,
and debugging within a single interface. Key features include an
optimizing C/C++ compiler, advanced plotting tools, embedded
OS support (VDK), award-winning statistical profiling, TCP/IP
and USB support, free software upgrades, and technical support.
EZ-Board Evaluation Boards
The EZ-Board
cost platform for initial evaluation of the processors via an external
emulator or μClinux.
expansion interface that allows for modularity with different
EZ-Extender boards.
EZ-KIT Lite Evaluation Kit
The EZ-KIT Lite
board and evaluation suite of VisualDSP++ software to facilitate
architecture evaluation.
EZ-Extender Daughter Boards
EZ-Extender
connect various peripherals from Analog Devices and third parties
to the expansion interface of the EZ-KIT Lite evaluation kits.
Emulators
Analog Devices cost-effective and high performance emulators
provide an easy, portable, nonintrusive, target-based debugging
solution for Analog Devices JTAG processors and DSPs.
These powerful emulators perform a wide range of emulation
functions, including single-step and full-speed execution with
predefined breakpoints, and viewing and/or altering of register
and memory contents.
Debug Agent Board
The Standalone Debug Agent is intended to provide a modular low
cost emulation solution for EZ-Board evaluation boards as well as
evaluation boards designed by third parties. The Standalone Debug
Agent is very similar to the Debug Agent that is on existing EZ-KIT
Lite evaluation boards but will have the flexibility to move from one
board to another.
Software Modules
Analog Devices has a wide range of tested and optimized software
modules available, including decoders, encoders, codecs, and other
algorithms that provide multimedia functions for the Blackfin
and SHARC processor families. The software modules allow
engineers to quickly and easily incorporate these functions, providing
a faster development path to the end product. In addition, the
highly optimized software modules feature a consistent API and
framework to ensure rapid development of multiple functions. Visit

Platforms and Reference Designs
Platforms and reference designs help jump-start your design.
They include comprehensive software suites with documented
APIs running on application-specific evaluation boards. The
easy to use APIs enable customization and control of core
system functions, letting you focus on adding value through
product differentiation. For more information on Analog Devices

Extended Development Tools and Support
Starter Kits
Analog Devices starter kits provide everything you need to get
started on an application. Kits contain a Blackfin EZ-KIT Lite,
EZ-Extender daughter board(s), and the software development kit
(SDK), which contains sample code, “how to” documents, and various
encoders/decoders that make getting started on an application
easy and shorten the learning curve.
Software Development Kits
The SDK contains example software, source code, device drivers,
algorithms, utilities information, and application notes that allow you
to develop processor applications. The software can be used as a
framework, or as examples of how to use certain aspects and
peripherals, in conjunction with an ADI processor. The SDK is included
in the starter kits and is also downloadable for free, provided you
have the required hardware, at www.analog.com/sdk/downloads.
��Clinux
The μClinux kernel and GNU toolchain are available for the Blackfin
processor and can be downloaded from the μClinux for Blackfin
processor website (www.blackfin.uclinux.org), which is the central
repository for all Blackfin processor open-source projects. One of the
board support packages available is the ADSP-BF537 STAMP μClinux
kernel board support package (BSP). The BSP is composed of the
ADSP-BF537 STAMP development board (including the full
complement of memory along with serial and network interfaces), a
recent copy of the open-source development tools, μClinux kernel,
and bootloader. The STAMP board is specifically designed to support
the development and porting of open-source μClinux applications.
NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors
The NI LabVIEW
comprehensive graphical development environment for embedded
design. This module builds on NI LabVIEW embedded technology,
which facilitates dataflow graphical programming for embedded
systems and includes hundreds of analysis and signal processing
functions, integrated I/O, and an interactive debugging interface. With
the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin processors, users
can easily access essential VisualDSP++ specific compiler options
through LabVIEW, such as the ability to enable cache, optimize
linking, and view live front-panel updates via JTAG. To help debug
those challenging designs, users can connect the host development
PC evaluation hardware or end product using an ADI JTAG emulator.
LabVIEW includes a wide array of built-in visualization features
including tools for charting and graphing real-time data, and
reconfiguring attributes of data presentation, such as colors, font size,
and graph types. Furthermore, users can dynamically tune
applications at run time through live front panel controls.
