VisualDSP++ Linker and Utilities Manual
This manual provides information on the linking process and describes
the syntax for the linker’s command language—a scripting language that
the linker reads from the linker description file (
.ldf). The manual leads
you through using the linker and archiver to produce processor programs.
It also provides reference information on file formats and utility software.
The manual also describes how overlays and advanced .ldf commands are
used for memory management. In addition, it describes the expert linker,
an interactive graphical tool to set up and map processor memory.
VisualDSP++ Kernel (VDK) User’s Guide
This manual contains information about the VisualDSP++ kernel, a
real-time operating system kernel integrated with the VisualDSP++
development tools. The VDK incorporates state-of-the-art scheduling and
resource allocation techniques tailored specifically for the memory and
timing constraints of DSP programming. Using frameworks of template
files, the kernel facilitates development of performance-structured
applications. The kernel is designed for effective operations on Analog
Devices processors.
The majority of the information in this manual is generic to all Analog
Devices families. Information applicable to a particular target processor,
or to a particular processor family, is provided in Appendix A, “Proces-
sor-Specific Notes.” This manual explains the kernel internal structure
and operation.
VisualDSP++ Loader and Utilities Manual
This manual contains information on how to use the loader/splitter to
convert executable files into boot-loadable (or non-bootable) files. These
files are then programmed/burned into an external memory device within
your target system.
