Evaluation License Restrictions
The ADSP-BF538F EZ-KIT Lite installation is part of the VisualDSP++
installation. The EZ-KIT Lite is a licensed product that offers an unre-
stricted evaluation license for the first 90 days. Once the initial
unrestricted 90-day evaluation license expires:
VisualDSP++ allows a connection to the ADSP-BF538F EZ-KIT
Lite via the USB debug agent interface only. Connections to simu-
lators and emulation products are no longer allowed.
The linker restricts a users program to 20 KB of internal memory
for code space with no restrictions for data space.

The EZ-KIT Lite hardware must be connected and powered up to
use VisualDSP++ with a valid evaluation or permanent license.
Refer to the VisualDSP++ Installation Quick Reference Card for details.
Memory Map
The ADSP-BF538F processor has internal SRAM that can be used for
instruction or data storage. SRAM configuration details can be found in
the ADSP-BF538/ADSP-BF538F Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference.
The ADSP-BF538F EZ-KIT Lite board includes two types of external
memory: SDRAM and flash.
The size of SDRAM is 64 Mbytes (32M x 16-bit). The processor’s mem-
ory select pin,
~SMS0, is configured for SDRAM.
The size of the external flash memory is 4 Mbytes (2M x 16-bits), and the
size of the internal flash memory is 1 Mbyte. The processor’s asynchro-
nous memory select pins (~AMS3–0) are configured for flash memory. Any
of the ~AMS signals can be mapped to internal or external flash memory.
