Abstract

In this paper, the authors discuss the use of Analog Devices ADSP-21061 SHARC EZ-KIT evaluation board as a teaching tool. They have developed a Windows-95 "front-end" program to accompany the evaluation board that ties Analog Devices\´ C programming package with some additional editing, downloading, uploading and graphing tools. The complete package provides much improved access to program development tools and to the processor for program operation, debugging and data extraction. With this set of programs, they believe that this processor and evaluation board can now become an effective tool for exploring the use of digital processors for signal processing and for control applications by students who have little computer science background. In this paper, they present an example laboratory exercise using these tools.
