PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing Analog Devices, Inc. development software for
digital signal processing (DSP) applications.
Purpose of This Manual
The VisualDSP++ 5.0 User’s Guide describes the features, components,
and functions of VisualDSP++. Use this guide as a reference for developing programs for SHARC®, TigerSHARC®, and Blackfin® processors.
This manual does not include detailed procedures for building and debugging projects. For how-to information, refer to VisualDSP++ online Help
and the VisualDSP++ 5.0 Getting Started Guide.
Intended Audience
The primary audience for this manual is a programmer who is familiar
with Analog Devices processors. This manual assumes that the audience
has a working knowledge of the appropriate processor architecture and
instruction set. Programmers who are unfamiliar with Analog Devices
processors can use this manual, but should supplement it with other texts
(such as the appropriate hardware reference and programming reference
manuals) that describe your target architecture.
VisualDSP++ 5.0 User’s Guide xxiii
Manual Contents
Manual Contents
The manual consists of:
• Chapter 1, “Introduction to VisualDSP++”
Describes VisualDSP++ features, license management, project
development, code development tools, and DSP projects
• Chapter 2, “Environment”
Focuses on window features, operations, and customization for the
main window and debugging windows.
• Chapter 3, “Debugging”
Describes debug sessions, code analysis tools, program execution
operations, simulation tools, and utilities.
• Appendix A, “Reference Information”
Describes file types, keyboard shortcuts, command-line parameters,
scripting, toolbar buttons, and text operations; also provides a
glossary and describes online Help features and operations.
• Appendix B, “Simulation of SHARC Processors”
Describes the simulator options available on the Anomalies,
Events, Simulator, Load Sim Loader, and Select Processor ID
submenus under Settings; also explains how to record simulator
anomalies and events, and describes SPI simulation in slave mode.
• Appendix C, “Simulation of TigerSHARC Processors”
Describes simulator instruction timing analysis, pipeline stages, the
Pipeline Viewer, stalls, aborts, the current program counter value,
stepping, and the Select Loader Program command on the Simu-
lator submenu under Settings.
• Appendix D, “Simulation of Blackfin Processors”
Provides an overview of peripheral support for Blackfin simulators
and describes limitations of the simulation software models, simulator instruction timing analysis, and compiled simulation.
