I have some questions:

-Which debugger do you use with the summit-ice (the VisualDSP debugger or
the White Mountain Vista-ICE debugger) ?
-How long does a single step take (e.g. if you press F11 in VisualDSP) ?
-Can you set breakpoints in ext SDRAM (if you have code in ext SDRAM in
bank 0) ?

About the Summit-ICE: do you know if it is just a PCI-version of the
Mountain-ICE/ISA ? The WM website does not mention 21065L-support for the
Mountian-ICE (although i have used it with VisualDSP), but for the
Summit-ICE.

i guess you mean the LDF-files, yes i also think it could be managed a bit
easier. but i have definitly a difference if i am using the linker via the
GUI or on the command line in a DOS box. especially when it comes to large
segments of code/data in ext. memory. The "PACKING"-command seems to be
ignored by the GUI linker. Michael

What kind of boot architecture have you decided to go with? My own is probably
going to use separate EPROMs for the two 65's. They'll share SDRAM and a serial
Flash for the bulk of the code.

Hardware tools for testing w/o hardware ?

well, there is the EZ-ICE, an JTAG interface (from ADI) to look at the
processor/download code/run code/look at the memory etc. there is another
company "White Mountain" which sells (sold?) a multiprocessor-capable
version of the EZ-ICE, they were bought by ADI some months ago.

the JTAG interface can be found on most development boards and also on
many target hardware platforms. to test w/o hardware i can only think of the simulator (also from ADI).
from third-parties i have only seen RT-OS's, libs etc., but no testing
tools.

Can anyone tell me which are the Hardware tools available for ADSP21060
processor for testing with and without target hardware.

Regards
Hari

Just a quick "hi" to all....

I just joined this list and I know that there is very little traffic so far...
maybe we can get more going...

I am working on a proprietary dual-21065L system that we're using for those
systems at the entranceway of store that go "whoop-whoop" when someone steals
something.

I am currently getting the 24-bit codec system up an going... so far, short of
the little gotchas we've found along the way, we've been doing pretty well... I
am using VisualDSP for development and simulation as well as the White Mountain
SUMMIT-ICE for JTAG support.

In reply to some of the questions:

Michael: the linker is a pain, until you get the hang of it. The ldr files are a
trip but I've gotten it working... contact me at and we
can discuss what you're having problems with.

Hari: re: Coding Standards, check out the "C Compiler Guide" book of the
VisualDSP tools for info about mixed C/ASM code. I've found that, even when I
wasn't in C all the time, obeying the standard gave me a lot more flexibility
than setting up my own standards....

Hope to hear from others!
