The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the Visu-
alDSP++
®
development environment to test capabilities of the
ADSP-BF504/BF506(F) Blackfin processors. The VisualDSP++ develop-
ment environment aids advanced application code development and
debug, such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and ADSP-BF506F 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
provides unrestricted access to the ADSP-BF506F processor and evalua-
tion board peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emulators offer faster
communication between the host PC and target hardware. Analog Devices
carries a wide range of in-circuit emulation products. To learn more about
Analog Devices emulators and processor development tools, go to

The ADSP-BF506F EZ-KIT Lite provides example programs to demon-
strate the evaluation board capabilities.
An EZ-KIT Lite is a licensed product that offers an unrestricted
evaluation license for the first 90 days. For details about evaluation
license restrictions after the 90 days, refer to
“Evaluation License
Restrictions” on page 1-7
in this manual and the
VisualDSP++
Installation Quick Reference Card.
