1 Introduction
NOTE: The DEV-BF548DA-Lite has an on-board Debug Agent, which is not available on the
DEV-BF548-Lite Board. All other features are identical! In this document, when describing
both boards, the name DEV-BF548-Lite is used.
The DEV-BF548-Lite Development Board with integrated Debug Agent is designed as a
development and application board for the high performance ADSP-BF548 based CM-BF548
Core Module. Special feature of the board is the 10/100Mbit industrial Ethernet controller.
The integrated Debug Agent is a USB based debug interface which enables programming and
debugging of the Blackfin Core Modules. It is fully compatible with the Visual DSP++
development environment. The development board provides all interfaces on dedicated
connectors or expansion connectors. Extender boards can be plugged on top of the
Development Board in order to enable additional interfaces.

2 Functional Specification
Figure 2-1: Functional Block Diagram
Power connector and Power supply:
The supplied power supply should be used. It can deliver up to 2A at 12V.
The input voltage range of an alternative power supply must be between 6-16V!
The on-board DC/DC power supply generates 5V and 3.3V which are made available at the
expansion connectors.
The maximum current that can be drawn from the 5V is 2A, but take care this includes the
current going into the 3.3V regulator also, because this regulator is powered by the 5V. The
maximum current that can be drawn from the 3.3V is 1.5A but note that this means at least 1A
additional load on the 5V connector.
The serial Port 0 (UART0, default Console IO) or Port1 (UART1) of the Core Module can be
routed directly to the USB Port (USB/UART Switch (S3).
An Ethernet controller (SMSC LAN9218) is connected to the data and address bus on the
baseboard providing a high speed 10/100MBit LAN Interface
An SD-Card connector is mounted on the board and is connected to the processors SD-IO
Interface. With the SD-Card one can make use of file IO Functions delivered with the
BLACKSheep Software. BLACKSheep supports SD-Cards and includes a FAT file system as
well as the most relevant File IO Functions. The complete BLACKSheep software package
can be purchased from Bluetechnix.
The USB2.0 OTG connector interfaces with the processors on-chip (ADSP-BF548) USB
Transceiver.

4.9 Expansion Connectors
The interface to the extender boards is grouped into three different connectors (X1, X2, X3).
The three tables below shows the pin out of these three connectors. The column “Pin No.
(Connector)” shows the pin number of each connector, while the column “Pin No. (Symbol)
shows the pin number of the extension connector schematic symbol, where the pins are
numbered from 1 to 200. The column “Pin No. CM” represents the pin number of the
corresponding signal on the Core Module.
