Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) provides a new level of system design capabilities through its MicroBlaze™ soft processor and hard core PowerPC® processor as well as silicon-efficient architectural resources. This course brings experienced FPGA designers up to speed on developing embedded systems using the Embedded Development Kit (EDK). The basic features and capabilities of the Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processor and the PowerPC processor are also included in the lectures and labs. These hands-on labs are plentiful and provide personal experience with the development, debugging, and simulation of an embedded system.

Software Tools

  • Xilinx ISE 9.1 SP3
  • Mentor Graphics ModelSim PE 6.2f
  • EDK 9.1 SP1
