1 Introduction

NOTE: The DEV-BF5xxDA-Lite has an on-board Debug Agent, which is not available on the EVAL-BF5xx Board. All

other features are identical! In this document, when describing both boards, the name DEV-BF5xx-Lite is used.

The DEV-BF5xx-Lite Board is a lightweight development platform for all current and future Bluetechnix Core

Modules (CM-BF527, CM-BF533, CM-BF561, CM-BF537U, CM-BF537E, TCM-BF537, TCM-BF518). On the DEV-

BF5xxDA-Lite board a bottom mounted tiny high performance Debug Agent fully compatible with Visual DSP++

allows programming and debugging any of the Blackfin Processors. The small baseboard has all hardware necessary

to test the performance of the Core Modules including a high-speed serial port directly connectable to a computer

USB port, a CAN Interface and an SD-Card mass storage device socket.
