System Requirements
Verify that your computer has these minimum requirements:
• Windows 2000
® SP4, Windows XP
® SP2 or greater, Windows 
Vista
™ Business edition, Windows Vista
™ Enterprise edition, 
or Windows Vista
™ Ultimate edition 
 Intel Pentium
® 32-bit processor (or compatible), 1 GHz or faster
 512 MB RAM
 2 GB available hard disk space (approximately 500 MB of which is 
required temporarily when installing from the Web download), 
more for your own project data

PCs with faster processors and/or more RAM can expect faster project 
builds and simulation speeds. Performance under emulation generally 
is bounded by the aggregate bandwidth of the communication 
channel to the target.

NOTE
3. To register your license, click Register. This opens the Analog 
Devices registration Web page in your default browser. Follow 
the on-screen prompts to complete the license registration. 
Your license now is registered and a validation code will be 
e-mailed to you shortly. (In the meantime, VisualDSP++ is 
operational.)
4. To enter a validation code, launch VisualDSP++ as in Step 1. 
Choose Help –> About VisualDSP++. Click the Licenses tab. 
Select the serial number you want to validate and click Validate. 
In the Enter Validation Code dialog box, enter the validation 
code by typing it in, or by copying and pasting it from the 
e-mail. Click OK to complete the license installation.
For further information, refer to the VisualDSP++ 5.0 Licensing 
Guide available via the Windows Start menu and in the 
VisualDSP++ environment (via Help -> Contents), under the 
heading of Manuals, as well as on the CD-ROM at:  

\Docs\Tools Manuals\50_lic.pdf
Step 5: Learning About Your VisualDSP++ Installation
Congratulations, you are ready to begin using VisualDSP++ 5.0!
If you are new to VisualDSP++, it is highly recommended that 
you begin with the VisualDSP++ 5.0 Getting Started Guide. 
This publication is available via VisualDSP++ Help. Simply choose 
Help –> Contents. In the Help window’s Contents pane, click 
Getting Started Guide.
If you are a SHARC or TigerSHARC user, you will 
have to obtain a TST (test drive) serial number for 
Blackfin to use the tutorial.
In addition to the VisualDSP++ 5.0 Getting Started Guide, 
EZ-KIT Lite users should explore the installed code examples. 
These programs reside in a group of 
Examples
 directories located 
at the VisualDSP++ installation path, for example:

\Blackfin\Examples\ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite
NOTE
For simulator users (no hardware target), examples can be found in: 
\proc_family
\Examples\No Hardware Required\
If you are an experienced VisualDSP++ user, begin with the 
VisualDSP++ 5.0 Product Release Bulletin. This document highlights 
new features and changes from previous versions of VisualDSP++.
The Analog Devices Web site, www.analog.com, is continually 
updated with new Engineer-to-Engineer notes, data sheets, FAQ 
topics, and application code examples, making it an invaluable 
resource for VisualDSP++ users. Make a habit of visiting the site; 
incorporate it into your daily routine for all of the latest information 
concerning Analog Devices, processors, and development tools.

							Step 4: Install, Register, and Validate a Node-Locked 
License
VisualDSP++ and EZ-KIT Lite evaluation systems are licensed 
products—they do not run unless a license is installed. There are 
two types of licenses: Evaluation(KIT) and Full (ADI). Each grants 
a registration grace period during which time the product is fully 
functional.
 An evaluation (KIT) license grants you 10 (ten) days to register 
and validate the license. Once validated, the evaluation licence 
extends the full trial period to 90 (ninety) days for emulator 
and simulator debug session; EZ-KIT Lite debug session are 
enabled permanently.
At the end of the trial period, unless you have upgraded the 
evaluation (KIT) license to a full (ADI) license, simulator and 
emulator debug sessions become prohibited, though EZ-KIT Lite 
debug sessions continue to work, and the size of the user program 
is limited to 25% of the processor’s program memory.
 The full (ADI) license, which allows emulator, simulator and 
EZ-KIT Lite debug sessions,  grants you 30 (thirty) days to register 
and validate the installation for permanent use.
If you fail to register and validate your installation during the 
10-day or 30-day registration grace period, your copy of 
VisualDSP++ 5.0 becomes inoperable until you complete the 
registration and validation process.
To install a node-locked license:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs –> Analog Devices –> 
VisualDSP++ 5.0 –>VisualDSP++ Environment. 
An information message indicates that no license can be found; 
select Yes when prompted to install a license.
2. On the Licenses page of the About dialog box, clickNew. 
Select the node-locked license type and type in your serial 
number exactly as provided. Your serial number can be found 
on the sticker affixed to the back of the CD sleeve (package).The following procedure is for installing a node-locked 
license. If you are connecting to a floating license server, 
please follow the procedure outlined in Chapter 3 of the 
VisualDSP++ Licensing Guide, which can be found on 
the CD-ROM at:

\Docs\Tools Manuals\50_lic.pdf
NOTE
Step 1: Install the Software
Install the VisualDSP++ software before connecting any hardware, 
such as an EZ-KIT Lite or emulator, to your computer. Likewise, 
use the hardware only when the VisualDSP++ software is installed 
on your computer. 
To install the VisualDSP++ software:
 For a Web download, double-click on the download 
.EXE
 file 
and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
 For a CD/DVD media installation, insert the media into your 
CD/DVD drive. The installer program runs automatically. If the 
installer does not run automatically, click the Start button and 
select Run.... Type “
D:\Setup.exe
” in the Open field, where “
D” 
is the letter of your CD/DVD drive. Follow the on-screen prompts 
to complete the installation.
Step 2: Update the Software
After installing the VisualDSP++ software, check whether an update 
is available for your installation. Installing an update ensures that 
your VisualDSP++ software contains the latest processor support, 
example code, and bug fixes.
To update the VisualDSP++ software:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs –> Analog Devices–> 
VisualDSP++ 5.0 –>Maintain this Installation.
2. Select Check the ADI web site for updates to launch your Web 
browser. Follow the on-screen prompts to identify and 
download your update.
3. Select Install Downloaded Update and follow the on-screen 
prompts to complete the update.Step 3: Install the EZ-KIT Lite
If you are using VisualDSP++ without any additional hardware, skip 
this step.
Remove the board from the package. Be careful when handling the 
board to avoid the discharge of static electricity, which may damage 
some components.  An ESD workstation is recommended.
To install the EZ-KIT Lite:
An EZ-KIT Lite or USB-based ICE board is designed to run as a 
stand-alone unit. You do not have to open your computer’s case.
1. Plug the board’s power supply into a surge-protected outlet 
(recommended). Connect the board’s USB assembly to your 
computer’s USB port using the provided USB cable. On the 
board, the power LED illuminates, and there may be other 
visible activity (blinking LEDs, etc.). The connection activates 
the Windows New Hardware wizard.
2. From the Welcome screen of the wizard, click Next two times. 
The installation takes a few seconds to complete; a Windows 
message about the new device being ready for use completes the 
hardware installation.
3. Verify that the yellow USB monitor LED is lit. (The LED is 
in close proximity to the USB connector.) This signifies that the 
board is communicating properly with the host PC and is ready 
to run.
4. To use an emulator with your EZ-KIT Lite:
For a USB-based ICE, attach the emulator’s JTAG cable to the 
EZ-KIT Lite before power is applied to either device. Then power up 
the EZ-KIT Lite and, for USB-based ICEs, power up the emulator 
and connect the USB cable between the emulator and the PC. Refer 
to the emulator documenation for further details.
