Chapter 2
Preparation and Installation
The ADS provides a tool for designing, debugging, and evaluating DSP based systems. It
consists of three hardware circuit boards, as illustrated in Figure 2-1. The hardware circuit
boards are the Host-Bus interface, command converter, and the ADM. The Host-Bus
interface card resides on the host systems bus and communicates with the command
converter via a 37-pin ribbon cable. The command converter interfaces with the ADM
card via a 14-pin connector which provides an access point for the command converter’s
JTAG/OnCE interface.

2.1 Host Computer Interface Card
This section covers the Host Computer Interface card hardware and software installation
instructions for the different host computer platforms, i.e. PC-workstation, SUN 4
workstation and HP700 workstation.
2.1.1 PC-Workstation to Command Converter Interface
The interface between the command converter and the ADS user interface program is
handled by a circuit board that resides in one of the PC-workstation motherboard system
