adsp-2181 EZ-KIT LITE usage

[fakhry2002]

I took the adsp-2181 EZ-KIT LITE from a friend
When I started looking in the available manuals I didn't find enough exaples writen in C.
Does it worth to spend time learning this kit or is it better to find onther uptodate kit with better C language support :?:

Thanks

Hi fakhry2002

I used it several years ago for starting a project with the ADSP-21xx family and I found it very nice.
The code in its examples can be readily modified (mainly DSPand SoundPort initialization) for your specific application. Probably a problem if you plan to start a project based in this family is that the AD1847 (the on-board ADC-DAC) is now discontinued and (in my knowledge) there isn’t an equivalent with the same interface.

Hi,
All the ADSP 218x have the same core. There is just a change in total memory space or some peripherals. So if you are wanting to learn any 218x it is ideal.

Look for the peripheral you want and the MIPS needed. If it is OK then proceed with 8x.

I was looking for a good text book to start with.
The manuals available on analog devices web site are not enough.
If any one knows where to get one pls let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
There is an ADSP application guide (2 volumes) that is still good.
