I have a few question about AD SHARC DSPs. 1. I read ADSP-21375 datasheet but I still don't know whether I can use DATA port as General Purpose IO? This question concerns also ADSP-21367/8/9. 2. I heard that all new SHARC DSP (early revision) have some mistake. Is that true? I want to use ADSP-21375 which is quite new and I don't know whether that safe is. I don't want a situation that I make PCB, bay processors and it turns out then that for example some booting method doesn't work. -- PGW

We have many ADSP-21369 customers that are not having problems. My understanding is that the 2137x is working very well. -- Al Clark Danville Signal Processing, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Purveyors of Fine DSP Hardware and other Cool Stuff Available at http://www.danvillesignal.com

I don't remember exactly what he said, something about not working a booting method. He said also, that this kind of problems are typical for new SHARC (early revision). -- PGW

We have a few boards that we are going to install 21375 parts on soon. The 21375 and 21371 are just being released. -- Al Clark Danville Signal Processing, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Purveyors of Fine DSP Hardware and other Cool Stuff Available at http://www.danvillesignal.com

I have never used a parallel flash boot for a 3rd generation SHARC. Frankly, I don't know why anyone would want to since all of these devices support booting from serial flash. The serial flash is a small 8 pin part versus 32 pins for a parallel flash. -- Al Clark Danville Signal Processing, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Purveyors of Fine DSP Hardware and other Cool Stuff Available at http://www.danvillesignal.com
