ADZS-BF707-EZBRD is a software development platform and evaluation board specially designed for using the embedded processors of Analog Devices’ BlackFin and SHARC families. This platform is the perfect tool for software development and checking the functionality of certain applications.
Analog Devices\' BlackFin and SHARC families embed powerful processors and microcontrollers for signal processing, image processing, computing, automotive applications and control system. The ADZS-BF707-EZBRD platform will integrate the hardware resources with this embedded processor. This integration makes it possible to develop, test and debug the applications conveniently.
The ADZS-BF707-EZBRD platform includes a 2.2" wide and 7.4" deep board with an embedded processor based on the BlackFin family BF707. This board is powered by the BF707 processor operating up to 300MHz for the BF707 Core, a GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) controller, a JTAG for Connectivity Interface, a configuration board for clock sources, a memory controller, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, and an USB controller.
As for the application field of this board, it is ideal for a wide range of applications, including imaging, video, audio, Automotive, Industrial applications and etc. The board can be used to develop, test and debug applications in the software environment quickly and conveniently.
The board implements a working principle to build an environment that works with the embedded processor. The board is working with the BF707 processor and other components on the board via the GPIO connections. It provides necessary hardware connections and clock sources that are needed to connect the processor with the components on the board. The board further displays the data via the LCD display, can store data in the memory, can send Echo and Response signals and communicate with the ADC/DAC converters.
The board itself is well designed to handle different types of operations. All components are mounted on a simple board that makes it easier to interface and debug. In addition, the board contains many user-programmable logic such as the GPIO, memories, analog signal and digital signal processor. Moreover, the board is also equipped with the USB controller for the purpose of connecting a host software for control and managing the system. Another great feature of this board is its stand-alone operation capabilities. The board can function the same way when being powered from AC or DC sources.
In conclusion, the ADZS-BF707-EZBRD platform is an effective tool for embedded processor applications. It is a well-designed board that allows easy connection with the BF707 embedded processor and other components. The board is great for rapid software development and debugging. In addition, it also has the capability of running stand-alone, making it suitable for industrial applications. With this platform, developers can easily experiment and make use of the processor hardware resources in the best way possible.
