Board Bring-Up

What am I learning here? In this post we’ll look at using the Base System Builder in EDK version 13.1. Specifically you’ll learn: How to create an EDK project with the Base System Builder How to add a software application to an EDK project How to implement and test your design Requirements You will need the following : One ML505/ML506/ML507 or XUPV5 board (or actually any board supported by Xilinx).

Tutorial Overview In this example, we will develop a simple FPGA project using the Base System Builder that includes three peripherals: the RS232 UART and two GPIOs. One GPIO will be used for the DIP switches and the other for the LEDs. We will then use a C program to read data from the switches and write it to the LEDs. The result is that the LEDs will display the DIP switch settings. [Read More]
