VisualDSP ++ Integrated Development Environment

Streamlining a design’s time to market, Analog Devices’ VisualDSP++ integrated development and debug environment integrates a graphical user interface and code generation and debugging tools, enabling programmers to move easily between editing, building, debugging and deployment of new products. Easy to use, it allows developers to efficiently manage the full development cycle with a single interface.

High Performance USB-based Emulator

Analog Devices’ High Performance USB-based emulator (ADZS-HPUSB-ICE) with up to 1.7 MB/sec download speed provides an easy, portable, non-intrusive, target-based debugging solution. The HP USB-based emulator also supports the Background Telemetry Channel (BTC), a non-intrusive method for exchanging data between the host and target application without affecting the target system's real-time characteristics.

Low Cost Blackfin JTAG Emulator

The ADZS-ICE-100B Blackfin emulator performs a wide range of functions, including single-step and full-speed execution with predefined breakpoints, and viewing and/or altering of register and memory contents. The ADZS-ICE-100B emulator enables users to communicate with Blackfin processors using a high speed USB 2.0 port on the host PC. Applications and data can easily and rapidly be tested and transferred between the emulator and the VisualDSP++.
