5.0 XPS Embedded System
The example design consists of a Xilinx ISE project with an embedded XPS
project. It includes interfaces to all of the peripheral components connected
to the FPGA. Driver software is also supplied that exercises the peripheral
components using the host processor through the PCI Express bus or the
embedded Microblaze processer. It is expected that an XMC-V6 user’s
project will require a subset of the example project’s interfaces in addition
to user specific functions. Acromag recommends beginning a new user
project by copying the Acromag example project, deleting any unnecessary
peripherals, and then adding the user defined functionality. The XMC-V6
block diagram shows the structure of the example system with peripherals
that are accessible from the microblaze processor, peripherals that are
accessible from the host processor, and peripherals that are common to
both the microblaze processor and the host processor. Master interfaces
are shown with a blue square symbol. Slave interfaces are shown with a red
circle symbol.
Xilinx ISE Example Projects
The Acromag EDK delivers prepackaged example designs to program the
Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGA. The XMC-V6 project folder will contain the following
subdirectories:
The naming convention used for the projects are as follows:
