Dear, maybe interesting information for people who are new at softcore processors and busses. during the course of our research project "embedded system design based on soft- and hardcore FPGA's", we've written: * a few reports : - about several softcore processors (Altera Nios, Xilinx Microblaze, Leon SPARC, OpenRISC, Altera Excalibur and Xilinx Virtex-II Pro) and its related busses (Avalon, Coreconnect, AMBA and Wishbone) - about the OpenCores IDE-core testcase (this open IP-core was modified and connected with the Nios, Microblaze and Leon SPARC) * a few tutorials (Altera Nios, Xilinx Microblaze, Leon SPARC and PowerPC405 (Virtex-II Pro)) all tutorials are very easy to use: bachelor students managed to build a complete Nios embedded system in under 1 hour. as of today, our new website is on-line where you can download these documents and much more. our website address is: http://emsys.denayer.wenk.be/?proj=empro&page=intro we're working on running embedded operating systems (eCOS, Linux) on the Leon SPARC, OpenRISC, PowerPC and others. Reports will be available in the future. Best regards to all, Dries |
