1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-21535 EZ-KIT Lite evaluation system.
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the
VisualDSP++ development environment to test the capabilities of the ADSP-
21535 digital signal processor (DSP). The VisualDSP++ development
environment gives you the ability to perform advanced application code
development and debug such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written in C++,
C and ADSP-2153x 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 ADSP-21535 from a PC is achieved through a USB port or an
optional JTAG emulator. The USB interface gives unrestricted access to the
ADSP-21535 DSP and the evaluation 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 DSP development tools, go to

.
ADSP-21535 EZ-KIT Lite provides example programs to demonstrate the
capabilities of the evaluation board.
NOTE: The VisualDSP++ license provided with this EZ-KIT Lite evaluation
system limits the use of internal memory to 176KB.
The board’s features include:
• Analog Devices ADSP-21535 DSP
o 300 MHz Core Clock Speed – default
o Core Clock Speed – switch configurable
o Boot Mode – switch configurable
• USB Debugging Interface
o NOTE: this is not the DSP’s USB interface
