EZ-KIT Lite 21061 Compatibility with newer VisualDSP versions

Hi,
 
You can access the ADSP-21061 SHARC processor using a PC through a serial port or an optional JTAG In-Circuit Emulator (ICE).

Unfortunately, the 21061 EZ-KIT Lite session(via RS-232) is not actually supported by VisualDSP++ 3.5 or later. If you wish to use this EZ-KIT, you have two options.

Your first option is to use VisualDSP++ 3.0, as this was the latest version to support the 21061 EZ-KIT Lite session. Note that this may require the use of an operating system other than Windows XP.

Your second option is to purchase an emulator and connect to the EZ-KIT using this hardware with the latest version of VisualDSP++ 5.1.2.

You can use ICE-1000/ICE-2000 emulators to communicate with the ADSP-21061 board.The ICE-1000/2000 should be fully compatible with all SHARC and Blackfin parts.The Analog Devices ICE-1000 and ICE-2000 emulators facilitate the creation, test, and debug of advanced applications on Analog Devices Processors and DSPs. Working in tandem with the CrossCore® Embedded Studio development environment, these emulators provide state-of-the-art support for all JTAG-compliant Analog Devices processors.
