Course Overview:
Xilinx FPGAs provide a new level of system design capabilities through soft MicroBlaze™ processors, hard PowerPC® processors, AXI interconnect, and silicon-efficient architectural resources. This course brings experienced FPGA designers up to speed on developing embedded systems using the Embedded Development Kit (EDK). The features and capabilities of the Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processor are also included in the lectures and labs. The hands-on labs provide experience with the development, debugging, and simulation of an embedded system.

Lab Descriptions
Lab 1: Hardware Construction with the Base System Builder– Create an XPS project by using the Base System Builder to develop a basic hardware system and generate a series of netlists for the embedded design.Lab 2: Adding and Downloading Software– Complete the processes begun in Lab 1 using the SDK tools to create a software BSP and sample application. Configure the FPGA and download the application.
Lab 3: Adding IP to a Hardware Design – Learn to add IP from the many choices in the IP library. Use the GUI to add a general-purpose I/O module and access internal block RAM directly from the MHS file.
Lab 4: Building Custom AXI IP for an Embedded System– Create and add a custom AXI peripheral (LCD interface) to your design by using the Create or Import Peripheral Wizard.
Lab 5: BFM Simulation – Use the ISim simulator to perform Bus Functional Model simulation to verify functionality of the LCD bus peripheral added in the preceding lab.
Lab 6: Integrating a Custom Peripheral – Put it all together: add custom IP to the processor system, and then integrate the processor sub-system with other logic in an ISE design project.
