customer. The device will ignore a wrong key. Emulation fea-

tures and external boot modes are only available after the

correct key is scanned.

SYSTEM DESIGN

The following sections provide an introduction to system design

options and power supply issues.

Program Booting

The internal memory of the ADSP-21371 boots at system

power-up from an 8-bit EPROM via the external port, an SPI

master, or an SPI slave. Booting is determined by the boot con-

figuration (BOOTCFG1–0) pins (see Table 7 on page 14).

Selection of the boot source is controlled via the SPI as either a

master or slave device, or it can immediately begin executing

from ROM.

Power Supplies

The ADSP-21371 has separate power supply connections for the

internal (VDDINT), and external (VDDEXT) power supplies. The

internal supplies must meet the 1.2V requirement. The external

supply must meet the 3.3V requirement. All external supply

pins must be connected to the same power supply.

Target Board JTAG Emulator Connector

Analog Devices DSP Tools product line of JTAG emulators uses

the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test access port of the ADSP-21371 pro-

cessor to monitor and control the target board processor during

emulation. Analog Devices DSP Tools product line of JTAG

emulators provides emulation at full processor speed, allowing

inspection and modification of memory, registers, and proces-

sor stacks. The processor's JTAG interface ensures that the

emulator will not affect target system loading or timing.

Tools product line of JTAG emulator operation, see the appro-

priate “Emulator Hardware User's Guide”.

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

The ADSP-21371 is supported with a complete set of

CROSSCORE® software and hardware development tools,

including Analog Devices emulators and VisualDSP++® devel-

opment environment. The same emulator hardware that

supports other SHARC processors also fully emulates the

ADSP-21371.

The VisualDSP++ project management environment lets pro-

grammers develop and debug an application. This environment

includes an easy to use assembler (which is based on an alge-

braic syntax), an archiver (librarian/library builder), a linker, a

loader, a cycle-accurate instruction-level simulator, a C/C++

compiler, and a C/C++ runtime library that includes DSP and

mathematical functions. A key point for these tools is C/C++

code efficiency. The compiler has been developed for efficient

translation of C/C++ code to DSP assembly. The SHARC has

architectural features that improve the efficiency of compiled

C/C++ code.

Preliminary Technical Data

The VisualDSP++ debugger has a number of important fea-

tures. Data visualization is enhanced by a plotting package that

offers a significant level of flexibility. This graphical representa-

tion of user data enables the programmer to quickly determine

the performance of an algorithm. As algorithms grow in com-

plexity, this capability can have increasing significance on the

designer’s development schedule, increasing productivity. Sta-

tistical profiling enables the programmer to non intrusively poll

the processor as it is running the program. This feature, unique

to VisualDSP++, enables the software developer to passively

gather important code execution metrics without interrupting

the real-time characteristics of the program. Essentially, the

developer can identify bottlenecks in software quickly and effi-

ciently. By using the profiler, the programmer can focus on

those areas in the program that impact performance and take

corrective action.

Debugging both C/C++ and assembly programs with the

VisualDSP++ debugger, programmers can:

• View mixed C/C++ and assembly code (interleaved source

and object information)

• Insert breakpoints

• Set conditional breakpoints on registers, memory,

and stacks

• Trace instruction execution

• Perform linear or statistical profiling of program execution

• Fill, dump, and graphically plot the contents of memory

• Perform source level debugging

• Create custom debugger windows

The VisualDSP++ IDDE lets programmers define and manage

DSP software development. Its dialog boxes and property pages

let programmers configure and manage all of the SHARC devel-

opment tools, including the color syntax highlighting in the

VisualDSP++ editor. This capability permits programmers to:

• Control how the development tools process inputs and

generate outputs

• Maintain a one-to-one correspondence with the tool’s

command line switches

The VisualDSP++ Kernel (VDK) incorporates scheduling and

resource management tailored specifically to address the mem-

ory and timing constraints of DSP programming. These

capabilities enable engineers to develop code more effectively,

eliminating the need to start from the very beginning, when

developing new application code. The VDK features include

Threads, Critical and Unscheduled regions, Semaphores,

Events, and Device flags. The VDK also supports Priority-based,

Preemptive, Cooperative, and Time-Sliced scheduling

approaches. In addition, the VDK was designed to be scalable. If

the application does not use a specific feature, the support code

for that feature is excluded from the target system.

Because the VDK is a library, a developer can decide whether to

use it or not. The VDK is integrated into the VisualDSP++

development environment, but can also be used via standard

command line tools. When the VDK is used, the development
