Embedded Systems Development
|
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.
Level

Labs
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 for a target board.
Lab 2: Adding IP to a Hardware Design – Learn to add IP, such as bridges, OPB peripherals, OPB buses, and others, to the basic hardware design.
Lab 3: Adding Custom IP to an Embedded System – Explore adding a custom IP to your design by using the Create and Import Peripheral wizard.
Lab 4: Writing Basic Software Applications – Write a basic C application that utilizes the UART and GPIO.
Lab 5: Advanced Software Writing and Debugging Using SDK – Use the OPB timer and interrupt controller, develop an interrupt service routine, and debug software by using the Software Development Kit (SDK) and debugging tools.
Lab 6: Performing System Simulation – Generate simulation scripts with XPS and perform behavioral simulation.
Lab 7: Performing Hardware Download – Implement the design and update the software bitstream before downloading to the hardware demo board.
