INTRODUCTION
This user guide describes the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z system demonstration platform—Blackfin® (SDP-B) controller board from Analog Devices, Inc. The SDP-B controller board is part of the Analog Devices system demonstration platform (SDP). The SDP consists of a series of controller boards, interposer boards, and daughter boards.
SDP controller boards provide a means of communicating with the PC from the system under evaluation. Interposer boards route signals between two connectors. Daughter boards are a collection of product evaluation boards and Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuit boards. The SDP-B is used as part of the evaluation system for many Analog Devices components and reference circuits. The primary audience for this user guide is a system engineer who seeks to understand how to set up the SDP-B board and begin USB communications to the PC.
The SDP-B board is designed to be used in conjunction with various Analog Devices component evaluation boards and Circuits from the Lab reference circuits as part of a customer evaluation environment. The SDP-B provides USB connectivity through a USB 2.0 high speed connection to the computer allowing users to evaluate components on this platform from a PC application. The SDP-B is based on ADSP-BF527 Blackfin processor, with the Blackfin processor peripheral communi-cation lines available to the component daughter board through two identical 120-pin small footprint connectors.
The SDP-B user guide provides instructions for installing the SDP-B hardware (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board) and software onto your computer. The necessary installation files are provided with the evaluation daughter board package. The Getting Started section provides software and hardware installation procedures, PC system requirements, and basic board informa-tion. The Hardware Description section provides information on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z components. The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z schematics are provided in the Schematics section.
