Dealing with EZ-KIT LITE's VisualDSP++ code size limitation

Started by Laurent September 28, 2004
Dear list,

I have recently purchased an ADSP-BF533 EZ-KIT LITE to do some Audio
synthesis and Video processing.
I know there is a limitation in code size, something like 20KB if i'm
correct.

Does this limitation apply only to the code section of each object before
they get linked into an executable ( which i doubt as it wouldn't be too
much a problem overall ! ), or does it apply to the union of all the code
sections of all the objects of the executable ?

If it is the last one, is there any easy solution to make several
executables "communicate" together ? Or any other legal trick ?
I hope there's a way to cope with this limitation as i cannot afford a full
version of VisualDSP++.

Thanks a lot,
Laurent

There is a 90 day trial that is also available for free. It doesn't have
any limitations except it expires.

A Test Drive is a good option for you. Fully
functional, no limitations on code size, only
limitation is on time licensed: 90 days. Maybe that
works good for you. I read somewhere that you could
even install it on a hard disk drive which could be
re-formatted every 90 days, so you can still install
your Test Drive again.
