I m working on ADSP BF538. Being the part of project i would like to
write the Board Bring Up(BBU) Software for the DSP Board. As this is
first time i m dealing with DSP and BBU as well, i a m looking for any
help frm all. Please guide me. If any one is working on the same DSP,
please let me know.Atleast tell me how to start the approach of
writing the BBU for the specified DSP.
Thanks in advance...........

Well, what is unique about your board that needs bringing up?

We just did a BF538 project, but it uses on-chip peripherals exclusively,
so it was just a matter of providing the JTAG interface for the ICE in
the hardware in order to bring it up.

The only special software required is the loader for the EEPROM chip
that holds the firmware. With the -BF538F, ADI provides the loader for
the EEPROM that's inside the package. For the non-F version, you can
either use the same chip externally -- and the same loader module -- or
you can switch to a different chip, and then you need to customize the
loader module a bit. Not a big deal.

Our application software is written in C++ using the ADI compiler,
in conjunction with their VDK kernel and System Services. Software
development and debugging in the VisualDSP++ environment "just works".

Does this help?
