SHARC® DSPs to TigerSHARC® Processors Code Porting Guide

Analog Devices Engineer-to-Engineer Note EE-241

This comprehensive guide from Analog Devices is designed for engineers transitioning existing SHARC Digital Signal Processor (DSP) source code to the advanced TigerSHARC processor family. It serves as a step-by-step resource for upgrading systems, aiming for enhanced performance and reduced system costs.

The document meticulously details the architectural distinctions between first and second-generation ADSP-2106x and ADSP-2116x SHARC DSPs, and the ADSP-TS101 and ADSP-TS20x TigerSHARC processors. Key areas of discussion include register file mapping, data addressing, program sequencer variations, and Direct Memory Access (DMA) considerations.

Engineers will find valuable insights into overcoming code incompatibility issues arising from architectural changes, with multiple code examples provided to facilitate the migration process. This note is an essential reference for optimizing code for the next generation of Analog Devices' floating-point processors.
