AD14060

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
The AD14060/AD14060L is supported with a complete set of software and hardware development tools, including an in-circuit emulator and development software.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) uses VisualDSP++®, which is an easy-to-use integrated software development and debugging environment (IDDE) that efficiently manages projects from start to finish from within a single interface.

The ADSP-21262 EZ-KIT LITE™ provides developers with a cost-effective method for initial evaluation of the ADSP-2106x SHARC processor architecture for applications via a USB-based PC-hosted tool set. With this EZ-KIT LITE, users can learn about ADI's ADSP-2106x hardware and software development and can quickly prototype applications.

The EZ-KIT LITE includes an ADSP-2106x processor desktop evaluation board, along with an evaluation suite of the VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment with the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. VisualDSP++ development and debugging software, along with the USB-based debugger interface, enables users to perform standard debugging functions (such as read and write memory, read and write registers, load and execute executables, set and clear breakpoints, and single-step assembly, C, and C++ source code).

The ADI cost-effective universal serial bus (USB)-based emulator and high performance (HP) universal serial bus (USB)-based emulator each provide an easy, portable, non-intrusive, target-based debugging solution for ADI JTAG processors and DSPs. These powerful USB-based emulators perform a wide range of emulation functions, including single-step and full speed execution with predefined breakpoints, and viewing and altering of register and memory contents. With the ability to automatically detect and support multiple I/O voltages, the USB and HP USB emulators enable users to communicate with all the ADI JTAG processors and DSPs using either a full speed USB 1.1 or high speed USB 2.0 port on the host PC. Applications and data can be easily and rapidly tested and transferred between the emulators and the separately available VisualDSP++ development and debugging environ-ment (sold separately).
The plug-and-play architecture of the USB allows the host operating system to automatically detect and configure the emulators. The USB can be connected to and disconnected from the host without opening the PC or turning off the power to the PC. A 3-meter cable is included to connect the emulators to the host PC, providing abundant accessibility to hard-to-reach targets.

The HP USB-based emulator supports the background telemetry channel (BTC), a nonintrusive method for exchang-ing data between the host and target application without affecting the target system's real-time characteristics. Nonintru-sive in-circuit emulation is assured by the use of the processor's JTAG interface. The emulator does not affect target system loading or timing.Further details and ordering information are available on the analog.com Web site.

In addition to the software and hardware development tools available from Analog Devices, third parties provide a wide range of tools supporting the SHARC processor family. Hardware tools include SHARC PC plug-in cards, multi-processor SHARC VME boards, and daughter card modules with multiple SHARCs and additional memory. These modules are based on the SHARCPAC module specification. Third-party software tools include an Ada compiler, DSP libraries, operating systems, and block diagram design tools.
QUAD-SHARC DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The BlackTip-MCM, AD14060 development board with software is available from Bittware Research Systems, Inc. This board has one AD14060 BITSI interface, and PROM and SRAM expansion options on an ISA card. It is supported by Bittware's SHARC software development package. To contact Bittware, call 1-800-848-0436.
OTHER PACKAGE DETAILS
The AD14060/AD14060L contains 16 on-module 0.018 F bypass capacitors. It is recommended that, in the target system, at least four additional capacitors of 0.018 F value be placed around the module, one near each of the four corners.
The top surface (lid) of the AD14060/AD14060L is electrically connected to GND on the industrial and military grade parts.
TARGET BOARD CONNECTOR FOR EMULATOR PROBE
The ADSP-2106x emulator uses the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test access port of the ADSP-2106x to monitor and control the target board processor during emulation. The emulator probe requires that the AD14060/AD14060L's CLKIN (optional), TMS, TCK, TRST, TDI, TDO, EMU, and GND signals be made accessible on the target system via a 14-pin connector (pin strip header) similar to Figure 26. The emulator probe plugs directly into this connector for chip-on-board emulation. You must add this connector to your target board design, if you intend to use the ADSP-2106x emulator. The length of the traces between the connector and the AD14060/AD14060L's JTAG pins should be as short as possible.
