PREFACE
Thank you for purchasing the ADSP-BF506F EZ-KIT Lite
®
, Analog
Devices, Inc. evaluation system for the ADSP-BF504/BF506(F) Blackfin
®
processors.
Blackfin processors embody a new type of embedded processor designed
specifically to meet the computational demands and power constraints of
today’s embedded audio, video, and communications applications. They
deliver breakthrough signal-processing performance and power efficiency
within a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) programming model.
Blackfin processors support a media instruction set computing (MISC)
architecture. This architecture is the natural merging of RISC, media
functions, and digital signal processing (DSP) characteristics. Blackfin
processors deliver signal-processing performance in a microprocessor-like
environment.
Based on the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA), Blackfin processors com-
bine a 32-bit RISC instruction set, dual 16-bit multiply accumulate
(MAC) DSP functionality, and eight-bit video processing performance
that had previously been the exclusive domain of very-long instruction
word (VLIW) media processors.
