Analog Devices ADSP-BF537 Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference Manual
The document serves as a comprehensive hardware reference for the ADSP-BF537 Blackfin processor. It includes detailed information on the processor's internal memory architecture, peripheral subsystems such as DMA, Ethernet MAC, and various serial interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C), and system interrupt controllers.
The manual covers the chip bus hierarchy, including the Core Bus, Peripheral Access Bus (PAB), and External Access Bus (EAB). It provides extensive descriptions of register definitions, timing specifications for external memory interfaces like SDRAM, and operational modes for power management.

Questions answered in these manuals
What is the main difference between ADSP-BF533 and ADSP-BF537 GPIOs?
In the ADSP-BF537, Flag Pins are now called GPIOs, and the register names have changed.

How does the SYNC bit affect transmit DMAs in the ADSP-BF537?
When set, the SYNC bit delays the interrupt until the DMA FIFO is drained, allowing safe start of new sequences.

Which PHYs are supported besides the default SMSC LAN83C185?
The work was verified on an SMSC LAN8187 and on a National Semiconductor DP83848.
From: Analog Devices EE-315 Changing the PHY in the Ethernet Driver for Blackfin Processors
What development tool is required for this modification?
The procedure is based on the VisualDSP++ 4.5 development tool suite and its Ethernet MAC driver.

Does VisualDSP++ provide a project wizard for two network interfaces?
No, the document states that VisualDSP++ 4.5 does not provide a project wizard for two network interfaces and most work must be done manually.
