Project Title -- Quick Guide to using the ADSP-21369 and Visual DSP++ development environment
People Involved
- Andrew Best
- Kyle Spratt
- Baek San Chang
- Steinunn Arnardottir
- Turner Kirk
GOALS
- The main goal of this project is to create a relatively simple step by step guide of how to get an Analog Devices "adsp-21369" dsp (SHARC) chip up and running using the "ADDS-21369-EZLITE" development board and "Visual DSP++" development environment.
- A second goal is to create an easy to use tool that can be used to interface with the FAUST programming language in order to generate c++ code that can be imported into a Visual DSP++ project file and used with the SHARC chip.
Setting Up Development Board and Visual DSP++ Development Environment
The development software used is VisualDSP++ Release 5.0 which can be downloaded here. It is compatible with Blackfin, SHARC and TigerSHARC processors.
FAUST Integration Tool
We (or, more precisely Andrew, A.K.A the captain of the A-TEAM), developed a script which takes in Faust code (on .dsp format), and returns C code, ready to plug into VisualDSP++. The script is called faust2sharc, release 0.0.2 can be downloaded from here.
When modifying a code or trying out new code, it is recommended that you make sure your Faust code definitely compiles as such, by for example generating a C++ code or a block diagram using Faust.
Instructions on running faust2sharc
1) Download and install
The interface should look like this:

2) Upload the [name_of_file].dsp file with the open file button.
3) Press generate project. This generates a [name_of_file].c file.
4) Upload the [name_of_file].c file to the VisualDSP++.
