The next step is to generate (compile) hardware design. Compiled hardware design is known as bit-stream and stored in *.bit file. To compile hardware, use hardware->generate hardware tab. The complete hardware design generation takes several seconds to several minutes depending on computer speed and design complexity. In back ground,... read more]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 22:06:17 -0500 EmbeddedRelated.com last blog entries With the introduction of soft processors and related tools (like EDK from Xilinx), implementation of basic embedded system in FPGA is made easy. This requires very little or almost no knowledge of VHDL programming. Actually that’s how I started. If user is interested in taking full advantage of FPGA and its parallel processing power, then yes, detail understanding of soft processor, its pe... read more]]> Sun, 28 Oct 2007 17:44:56 -0400 EmbeddedRelated.com last blog entries Hello everybody, it’s nice to have an opportunity to write on embedded system and share experiments with readers. I recently started embedded systems in FPGA having luxury of reconfigurable logics and will like to share some of my thoughts in first post. I worked with Xilinx SPARTAN 3E and with their embedded system tools known as EDK 9.1 (Embedded Development Kit) software tool, its fu... read more]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2007 22:56:33 -0400 EmbeddedRelated.com last blog entries
