Development of Soft-Core Processor System on FPGA

摘要

In this paper, proposed a novel implementation of a Soft-Core system using micro-blaze processor with virtex-5 FPGA. Till now Hard-Core processors are used in FPGA processor cores. Hard cores are a fixed gate-level IP functions within the FPGA fabrics. Now the proposed processor is Soft-Core Processor, this is a microprocessor fully described in software, usually in an HDL. This can be implemented by using EDK tool. In this paper, developed a system which is having a micro-blaze processor is the combination of both hardware & Software. By using this system, user can control and communicate all the peripherals which arc in the supported board by using Xilinx platform to develop an embedded system. Implementing of Soft-Core process system with different peripherals like UART interface, SPA flash interface, SRAM interface has to be designed using Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) tools.
