EDK product description with tutorials

This example details an embedded system example design that illustrates the features of the Xilkernel on the hard PowerPC 440 processor using the Embedded Development Kit. The design illustrates the usage of each API of the Xilkernel. The hardware design used to illustrate the kernel consists of a PowerPC 440 processor connected to an XPS timer, a UARTLITE, an XPS interrupt controller, external DDR2, GPIO modules, and the PowerPC JTAG debug interface. The software application consists of Xilkernel and three different example sets, each illustrating various concepts of the kernel. For more information on this design including detailed instructions, refer to the associated Zip file.

This guide contains information about the embedded system tools included in EDK. These tools, consisting of processor platform tailoring utilities, software application development tools, a full-featured debug tool chain, and device drivers and libraries, allow you to fully exploit the power of MicroBlaze™ and PowerPC® processors along with their corresponding peripherals.

This help system provides information about how to use Xilinx® Software Development Kit (SDK) for creating software platforms and applications targeted for Xilinx embedded processors. SDK works with hardware designs created with the Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) embedded development tools.

This manual describes the EDK system files and software usage.

This help system provides information about how to use Xilinx® Platform Studio (XPS) for embedded system development.

EDK product description with tutorials

This document collection provides information on the variety of Xilinx® software packages provided with the Embedded Development Kit and on development of the Board Support Package for the VxWorks, Linux 2.4 (Monta Vista Linux 3.1), and Linux 2.6 operating systems.

This user guide provides information about profiling software running on embedded systems built with Xilinx® EDK. Profiling is software-intrusive, and is based on the GNU gprof tool. This document details how profiling works, how to set up the hardware and software systems to perform profiling, and how to view the resulting profile data.

Information about BFM Simulation is now located in the Embedded System Tools Reference Manual. See the "Bus Functional Model Simulation" chapter.

The MicroBlaze™ Processor Reference Guide provides information about the 32-bit soft processor, MicroBlaze, which is part of the Embedded Processor Development Kit (EDK). The document is intended as a guide to the MicroBlaze hardware architecture.
