Regulatory Compliance
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board is designed to be used solely in a laboratory
environment. The board is not intended for use as a consumer end product or as a portion of a consumer end product. The board is an open
system design which does not include a shielded enclosure and therefore
may cause interference to other electrical devices in close proximity. This
board should not be used in or near any medical equipment or RF devices.
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board has been certified to comply with the
essential requirements of the European EMC directive 2004/108/EC and
therefore carries the “CE” mark.
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board has been appended to Analog Devices, Inc.
EMC Technical File (EMC TF) referenced DSPTOOLS1, issue 2 dated
June 4, 2008 and was declared CE compliant by an appointed Notified
Body (No.0673) as listed below.

The EZ-Board evaluation system contains ESD (electrostatic discharge)
sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human
body and equipment and can discharge without detection. Permanent
damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or
loss of functionality. Store unused EZ-Board boards in the protective shipping package.

PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board™, Analog
Devices, Inc. evaluation system for ADSP-BF512/BF512F,
ADSP-BF514/BF514F, ADSP-BF516/BF516F, and
ADSP-BF518/BF518F Blackfin® processors.
Blackfin processors embody a new type of embedded processor designed
specifically to meet the computational demands and power constraints of
today’s embedded audio, video, and communications applications. They
deliver breakthrough signal-processing performance and power efficiency
within a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) programming model.
Blackfin processors support a media instruction set computing (MISC)
architecture. This architecture is the natural merging of RISC, media
functions, and digital signal processing (DSP) characteristics. Blackfin
processors deliver signal-processing performance in a microprocessor-like
environment.
Based on the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA), Blackfin processors combine a 32-bit RISC instruction set, dual 16-bit multiply accumulate
(MAC) DSP functionality, and eight-bit video processing performance
that had previously been the exclusive domain of very-long instruction
word (VLIW) media processors.
The evaluation board is designed to be used in conjunction with the VisualDSP++® development environment to test the capabilities of the
ADSP-BF512/BF512F, ADSP-BF514/BF514F, ADSP-BF516/BF516F,
ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board Evaluation System Manual xi
and ADSP-BF518/BF518F Blackfin processors. The VisualDSP++ development environment aids advanced application code development and
debug, such as:
• Create, compile, assemble, and link application programs written
in C++, C, and 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 of
the standalone debug agent gives unrestricted access to the processor and
evaluation board’s peripherals. Analog Devices JTAG emulators offer
faster communication between the host PC and target hardware. To learn
more about Analog Devices emulators and processor development tools,
go to
http://www.analog.com/dsp/tools/.
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board provides example programs to demonstrate
the capabilities of the product.

Default Configuration
Default Configuration
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board board is designed to run outside your personal computer as a stand-alone unit. You do not have to open your
computer case.
The EZ-Board evaluation system contains ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and
equipment and can discharge without detection. Permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper ESD precautions
are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
Store unused EZ-Board in the protective shipping package.
When removing the EZ-Board from the package, handle the board carefully to avoid the discharge of static electricity, which can damage some
components. Figure 1-1 shows the default jumper and switch settings,
connector locations, and LEDs used in installation. Confirm that your
board is in the default configuration before using the board.
EZ-Board Installation
For correct operation, install the software in the order presented in the
VisualDSP++ Installation Quick Reference Card. Substitute instructions in
step 3 with instructions in this section.
There are two options to connect the EZ-Board hardware to a personal
computer (PC) running VisualDSP++ 5.0: via an Analog Devices emulator or via a standalone debug agent module. The standalone debug agent
allows a debug agent to interface to the ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board. The
standalone debug agent is shipped with the kit.

EZ-Board Session Startup
To connect the EZ-Board to a PC via an emulator:
1. Plug the 5V adaptor into connector
2. Attach the emulator header to connector P1 (labeled JTAG) on the
back side of the EZ-Board.
To connect the EZ-Board to a PC via a standalone debug agent:
a
The debug agent can be used only when power is supplied from the
wall adaptor.
1. Attach the standalone debug agent to connectors P1 (labeled JTAG)
and ZP1 on the backside of the EZ-Board, watching for the keying
pin of P1 to connect correctly. Plug the 5V adaptor into connector
J3 (labeled 5V).
2. Plug one side of the provided USB cable into the USB connector of
the standalone debug agent. Plug the other side of the cable into a
USB port of the PC running VisualDSP++ 5.0 update 5 or later.
3. Verify that the yellow USB monitor LED on the standalone debug
agent (LED4, located on the back side of the board) is lit. This signifies that the board is communicating properly with the host PC
and ready to run VisualDSP++.
J3 (labeled 5V).
EZ-Board Session Startup
1. If you are running VisualDSP++ for the first time, navigate to the
VisualDSP++ environment via the Start–>Programs menu. The
main window appears. Note that VisualDSP++ is not connected to
any session. Skip the rest of this step to step 2.
If you have run VisualDSP++ previously, the last opened session
appears on the screen. You can override the default behavior and
force VisualDSP++ to start a new session by pressing and holding
1-6 ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board Evaluation System Manual
Using ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board
down the Ctrl key while starting VisualDSP++. Do not release the
Ctrl key until the Session Wizard appears on the screen. Go to
step 3.
2. To connect to a new EZ-KIT Lite session, start Session Wizard by
selecting one of the following.
• From the Session menu, New Session.
• From the Session menu, Session List. Then click New Ses-
sion from the Session List dialog box.
• From the Session menu, Connect to Target.
3. The Select Processor page of the wizard appears on the screen.

Evaluation License Restrictions
The ADSP-BF518F EZ-Board installation is part of the VisualDSP++
installation. The EZ-Board is a licensed product that offers an unrestricted
evaluation license for the first 90 days. Once the initial unrestricted
90-day evaluation license expires:
• VisualDSP++ restricts a connection to the ADSP-BF518F
EZ-Board via the USB port of the standalone debug agent interface
only. Connections to simulators and emulation products are no
longer allowed.
• The linker restricts a user program to 12 KB of memory for code
space with no restrictions for data space.
• The EZ-Board hardware must be connected and powered up to use
VisualDSP++ with a valid evaluation or permanent license.
Refer to the VisualDSP++ Installation Quick Reference Card for details.
