The ADSP-BF561 EZ-KIT Lite® provides developers with a cost-effective method for initial evaluation of the ADSP-BF561 Blackfin® Processor for audio and video applications via a USB-based PC-hosted tool set. Evaluation of analog audio applications is achieved through the use of the AD1836 multichannel 96 kHz audio codec. By utilizing the ADV7183A advanced 10-bit video decoder and ADV7179 chip scale NTSC/PAL video encode, the user is able to evaluate video applications such as simultaneous input and output video processing enabled by the dual core architecture of the ADSP-BF561 Processor. With this EZ-KIT Lite, users can learn more about Analog Devices’ ADSP-BF561 hardware and software development and quickly prototype applications.

     The EZ-KIT Lite includes an ADSP-BF561 Processor desktop evaluation board along with an evaluation suite of the VisualDSP++® development and debugging environment with the C/C++ compiler, assembler, and linker. It also includes sample processor application programs, CE-approved power supply, and a USB cable.
