Course Description:
The growth of FPGA-based embedded processors presents both opportunity and challenges for current FPGA designers. This half-day, hands-on workshop will teach you how to architect a MicroBlaze® based system using the latest Embedded Development Kit (EDK 10.1) from Xilinx. Based on the Xilinx MicroBlaze processor core, this class covers the details of defining your hardware system, implementing the design, incorporating application code, and booting. At the end of the course, students will take home sufficient knowledge to build and run their own MicroBlaze based systems.

Who Should Attend:
FPGA designers interested using the MicroBlaze processor core in the Xilinx FPGAs.

Prerequisites:
Knowledge of the Xilinx ISE implementation tools and general knowledge of microprocessors and embedded C programming.

Course Description:
The explosive growth of FPGA-based embedded processing is occurring today. The high-performance, soft-processor MicroBlaze core from Xilinx is leading the way, along with the newest EDK 10.1 release of embedded processing development tools. This halfday, hands-on workshop will walk students through the process of designing a custom peripheral for the MicroBlaze processor. The workshop will also teach students how to debug a MicroBlaze based system using the GNU debug environment. Through a combination of lecture and handson labs, the student will gain the practical experience and know-how that will save weeks of time.

Who Should Attend:
Hardware designers interested in FPGA-based embedded processing.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of the Xilinx ISE implementation tools and general knowledge of microprocessors and embedded C programming.
