The ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite® provides developers with a cost-effective method for evaluation of the ADSP-BF537 Blackfin® Processor and its rich set of system peripherals, including the IEEE 802.3 10/100 Ethernet MAC and CAN® 2.0B controller.
The ADSP-BF537 EZ‑KIT Lite is an evaluation board that provides developers with a cost‑effective platform for exploring the ADSP‑BF537 Blackfin processor and its peripherals, such as Ethernet, CAN, audio, and video interfaces. The kit includes the processor board, power supply, USB cable, Ethernet cables, audio cables, headphones, and the NI ELVIS interface for laboratory measurements.
The kit ships with the VisualDSP++ development environment, sample applications, and documentation. Optional EZ‑Extender daughter boards add further functionality, while JTAG emulators enable full debugging. System requirements include a Pentium 500 MHz PC with Windows 2000/XP, 256 MB RAM, and 750 MB free disk space.
