Overview The National Instruments LabVIEWTM Embedded Module for Analog Devices Blackfin(R) Processors is a comprehensive graphical development environment for embedded design. Jointly developed by ADI and NI, this module seamlessly integrates the LabVIEW Development Environment and Blackfin Embedded Processors. Included in the LabVIEW Embedded Module is everything required to develop your application quickly in LabVIEW and ultimately target a custom-developed hardware solution, taking designs from concept to production in a single integrated development environment. By using this approach, engineers and scientists can achieve faster development times, lower development cost, and still deliver a high performance embedded processing solution. Graphical Design for Embedded Systems This module builds on NI LabVIEW embedded technology, which facilitates data flow graphical programming for embedded systems, and includes hundreds of analysis and signal processing functions, integrated I/O, and an interactive debugging interface. With the NI LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors, you can easily access essential VisualDSP++(R) specific compiler options such as the ability to enable cache, optimize linking, and view live front-panel updates via JTAG. To help you debug those challenging designs, you can connect the host development PC to your evaluation hardware or end product using an ADI JTAG emulator. LabVIEW includes a wide array of built-in visualization features, including tools for charting and graphing real-time data and reconfiguring attributes of your data presentation, such as colors, font size, and graph types. Furthermore, you can dynamically tune your application at run time through live front-panel controls. w w w. a n a l o g . c o m / p r o c e s s o r s / t o o l s Analog Devices VisualDSP++ The LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors includes the ADI VisualDSP++ development environment. LabVIEW combined with VisualDSP++ provides a seamless debugging environment by allowing you to step through graphical code and C code simultaneously and visualize the embedded code in the VisualDSP++ IDE. With VisualDSP++ you have access to over 140 handtuned algorithms specifically designed for Blackfin Processors that can be embedded directly into your code. Target Hardware Platform Included with the LabVIEW Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors is the standard ADI EZ-KIT Lite evaluation board. This board contains a 600 MHz ADSP-BF537 Blackfin Processor capable of 1200 million multiply and accumulate operations per second (MMACS). This high performance processor is supported with ADI's embedded software framework and libraries to simplify development. A full board support package including on-chip peripheral libraries with native component drives for audio and video DACs, ADCs, and audio codecs is included. Numerous hand-tuned algorithms and examples are included with the module to help engineers and scientists begin developing designs quickly and easily. These examples range from simple digital LED and push-button control examples to more complex signal processing examples. Combined with an active online community and full access to technical support, the LabVIEW Embedded Module ensures you a faster and more successful start. The CROSSCORE components include: * VisualDSP++ development and debugging environment * EZ-KIT Lite evaluation kits * EZ-Extender(R) daughter boards * Emulators The easy to use VisualDSP++ integrated development environment speeds development, debugging, and deployment while shrinking product development cycles and improving time to market. The EZ-KIT Lite evaluation kits provide an easy way to investigate the performance of Analog Devices' family of embedded processors and DSPs. EZ-Extender daughter boards give developers access and ability to connect various peripherals from ADI and third parties to the expansion interface of the EZ-KIT Lite evaluation kits. Emulators are available for both PCI and USB host platforms for rapid on-chip debugging.
