About this manual

This document details the functional operation and usage of the asynchronous host interface on the ADSP-21161N SHARC processor. It covers the interface's capabilities in both single-processor and multi-processor systems, including booting procedures and the use of the host loader kernel. The system configuration described involves the ADSP-21161N acting as a slave and the ADSP-21065L emulating a host microprocessor.
