    Contact the vendor where you purchased your extender board or contact 
    Analog Devices, Inc. if any item is missing.
    Supported Operating Systems
    CrossCore Embedded Studio is supported on the following operating 
    systems:
    ® XP Professional SP3 (32-bit only)
     Windows Vista™ Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate SP2 (32-bit 
    only)
     Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate (32- and 64-bit)
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 users may experience User Access 
    Control (UAC) related errors if the software is installed into a pro
    -
    tected location, such as Program Files or Program Files (x86). 
    We recommend installing the software in a non-UAC-protected 
    location. 
    						
    							Probing EI3 Extender Board Manual 1-3  Using Probing EI3 Extender Board
    System Requirements
    Verify that your PC has these minimum requirements for the CCES 
    installation:
     2 GHz single-core processor
     1 GB RAM
     8 GB available disk space
     One open USB port
    A faster disk drive decreases the build time, especially for a large 
    amount of source files.
    Probing EI3 Extender Board Installation
    Follow these instructions to ensure correct operation of the product hard-
    ware and software.
    1. Attach the extender board to the EZ-KIT Lite/EZ-Board.
    
    The J1 connector on the extender board can be connected to the 
    P1A, P2A, or P3A connector on the EZ-KIT Lite/EZ-Board. Refer to 
    the example program for a reference to the proper connector.
    2. Use the provided hardware to secure the extender to the EZ-KIT 
    Lite/EZ-Board. See 
    Figure 1-1. 
    3. Refer to the EZ-KIT Lite/EZ-Board manual for information on 
    connecting to a personal computer (PC) and running CCES.

    Expansion Interface III
    1-4 Probing EI3 Extender Board Manual
    Expansion Interface III
    The Expansion Interface III (EI3) allows an  extender board to be used 
    across various hardware platforms that  have the same expansio
    n interface 
    connectors.
    The connectors contain a majority of the
      processor’s signals. For pinout 
    information, go to  Appendix B, “Probing EI3 Extender Board Sche -
    matic” . The mechanical dimensions of the expansion connectors can be 
    obtained by contacting “Technical Support”. 
    						
    							Probing EI3 Extender Board Manual 1-5  Using Probing EI3 Extender Board
    The Probing EI3 Extender Board can interface with EZ-KIT 
    Lites/EZ-Boards operating at an IO voltage of 3.3V. Other IO voltages 
    are not supported. The extender can be powered from either the EZ-KIT 
    Lite/EZ-Board or through the on-board 5V power connector (
    P1).
    Analog Devices offers many EZ-Extender products that plug on to the 
    expansion interface. For more information on these products, visit the 
    Analog Devices Web site at: 
    www.analog.com/processors/tools/blackfin. 
    Limits to current and interface speed must be taken into consideration 
    when using the EI3. Current for the EI3 can be sourced from the EZ-KIT 
    Lite/EZ-Board; therefore, the current should be limited to 200
     mA for 5V 
    and 300
     mA for the 3.3V planes. If more current is required, then a sepa-
    rate power connector and a regulator must be designed on the daughter 
    card. Additional circuitry can add extra loading to signals, decreasing their 
    maximum effective speed.
    Analog Devices does not support and is not responsible for the 
    effects of additional circuitry.
