INTRODUCTION

This user guide describes the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z system

demonstration platform—Blackfin® (SDP-B) controller board

from Analog Devices, Inc. The SDP-B controller board is part

of the Analog Devices system demonstration platform (SDP).

The SDP consists of a series of controller boards, interposer

boards, and daughter boards.

SDP controller boards provide a means of communicating with

the PC from the system under evaluation. Interposer boards

route signals between two connectors. Daughter boards are a

collection of product evaluation boards and Circuits from the

Lab™ reference circuit boards. The SDP-B is used as part of the

evaluation system for many Analog Devices components and

reference circuits. The primary audience for this user guide is a

system engineer who seeks to understand how to set up the

SDP-B board and begin USB communications to the PC.

The SDP-B board is designed to be used in conjunction with

various Analog Devices component evaluation boards and

Circuits from the Lab reference circuits as part of a customer

evaluation environment. The SDP-B provides USB connectivity

through a USB 2.0 high speed connection to the computer

allowing users to evaluate components on this platform from a

PC application. The SDP-B is based on ADSP-BF527 Blackfin

processor, with the Blackfin processor peripheral communi-

cation lines available to the component daughter board through

two identical 120-pin small footprint connectors.

The SDP-B user guide provides instructions for installing the

SDP-B hardware (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board) and software onto

your computer. The necessary installation files are provided

with the evaluation daughter board package. The Getting

Started section provides software and hardware installation

procedures, PC system requirements, and basic board informa-

tion. The Hardware Description section provides information

on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z components. The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

schematics are provided in the Schematics section.
