ADI DSP FAQ

 Please add and enrich this FAQ!
Note:
I am not a master, but I have developed some Adi DSPs.
The purpose of writing this FAQ is to help more users who are using or are about to use the adi dsp.
Based on my own experience, there are many shortcomings and disadvantages.
You are welcome to add this article and point out the shortcomings.

1. What is the adi dsp? What are the characteristics and models?
ADI DSPs are collectively referred to as DSPs launched by simulator manufacturers in the United States. Compared with the DSP series of TI corporation, they have internal m
Em large, multi-chip collaborative work ability and other advantages, specific can refer to the ADI company home page http://www.analog.com

It mainly includes the following series of DSPs:
A) 21xx series: 16-Bit fixed-point DSP, mainly represented by 218x series, with excellent performance, large internal REM and peripheral connection
Multiple ports, suitable for use as a control chip, and the 219x series provide higher performance.
B) sharc series: 32-bit floating point DSP, including the 2106x series in the early stage, and the current main 21160,21161 Series
Provides a simple floating point that combines with large memory capacityAlgorithmWith High-Level floating point performance.
C) tigersharc series: Developed from sharc series, it has higher floating point computing functions than sharc. Currently
There are two series: ts101 and ts201.
D)Blackfin series:The new DSP of ADI is a high-performance 16-bit dsp signal processing capability and general micro-control
Easy-to-use performance.

2. How to develop the adi dsp?
A development environment is required:
(Software Visual DSP ++) + (simulator) + target board (or evaluation board)
If you only want to develop algorithms, you can have a visual DSP integrated development environment.
The discount price for the above Adi University plan is $1200

3. What is the software integration development environment of adi dsp?
Integrated development environment Visual DSP ++
It has been developed to version 3.5.
Visual DSPs have corresponding software for different series of DSPs,
Can be downloaded from the ADI website www.analog.com.
You can apply for the serial number of testdriver on the website. The trial period is 90 days.
 PS: When you get the serial number of testdriver, First Change the system time to N years later, register, and finally set the time
It can be used for a long period of time.
In addition, there are some discussions about the serum area x-5-2.
 
4. What is the hardware development environment of adi dsp?
Simulator: the function of the simulator is to implementCodeDownload to the DSP of the target board, debug online, break point, and observe mem
And reg are indispensable in DSP development. Currently, there is no third-party development for the ADI simulator in China.
The advantage of purchasing the original one is that the quality can be guaranteed. However, if the simulator is damaged, it will take a long time to repair the system.
.
Evaluation Board: Each DSP series has a corresponding evaluation board. The schematic diagram of the evaluation board can be called the DSP hardware design.
Model, with an evaluation board allows new users to quickly master the DSP of this model.

5. How can I get the adsp development materials?
For DSP Chips: Each DSP has hardware manuals and instruction sets. We recommend that you read them in detail. On the ADI website, you can
Apply for a free instruction set, hardware manual, and other books Hardcopy.
For visual DSP Development Environment: If you have purchased genuine software, you will have some assemb information about visual DSP.
Ly, compiler, linker, and loader books are sent to you. We recommend that you read them in detail. This information can be obtained from the ADI website.
Download to PDF document.
For hardware development: the schematic diagram of each DSP's evaluation board is definitely worth reference.
Or the instructions for the Evaluation Board are available on the ADI website. In addition, the hardware Manual also needs to be thoroughly understood.
Others: www.analog.com has the technical library module, which is a good reference.


6. How to develop adsp efficiently ?
A) read the hardware manual and instruction set carefully and start by learning the example under the software installation directory.
B) Check the technical library module on the ADI website, where application notes and code exam
Ples is useful
C) Consult the agent or ADI Technical Support
D) issue a message on the dsptech Layout
E) ask for help from Google's comp. DSP module. Many foreigners use adsp, which is much less than domestic ones. (I often cannot enter this forum)

7. How can I apply for samples from Adi?
See the following link: (from 21ic)
Http://www.21ic.com/new_info/news/files/free/2004515131330.html
The samples of Adi are no longer directly sent from abroad, but are now delivered by domestic express delivery companies, which is faster than before.

Before asking a question, check whether the problem can be solved. Do not ask the question as soon as there is a problem, and think more to improve.
Good luck!
