serial port / visual dsp

Started by lomaguindo June 20, 2003
hello,
i am trying to use a 21065l's serial port. it says it is i2s
compatible, has a separate line for tx, rx, txclk, rxclk. though i am
tring to connect it to an i2c compatible device, whose serial port
has only a data line and a clock line. could i still connect the two?
or do i have to use the chip's clock generator and an output line.
also, the adsp-21065l ez-kit lite can be connected to a pc using
an rs-232 cable (for the visual dsp++), how can i make my own board
that uses the same sofware to debug the board that i am making..

thanks..

carlo

They aren't the same! Do a web search on i2s and i2c and read up on
the differences. I have been bit by this before, but fortunatly for
me didn't have to actually convert one to the other.

If you want a low cost debugger check out the www.beastrider.com
jtag unit. You can debug your custom board a whole lot easier.
