System Design Flow
Exporting the Base Hardware Platform to SDK
Because the base hardware platform is used with the Software Development Kit (SDK)
described in UG670,
AXI Interface Based ML605/SP605 MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem
Software Tutorial , [Ref 7] information about the hardware platform must be provided to the
SDK to allow development of software platforms and applications. To export this base
hardware platform to SDK:
1. When bitstream generation is complete:
a. Under Hierarchy , click on system_i - system (system.xmp) .
b. Under Processes , right click Export Hardware Design to SDK with Bitstream
and select Run .
The hardware description files are stored in the following location:
• For ML605:
ML605_Embedded_Kit/Tutorial_Sandbox/HW/
Microblaze_Processor_SubSystem/SDK/SDK_Export
• For SP605:
SP605_Embedded_Kit/Tutorial_Sandbox/HW/
Microblaze_Processor_SubSystem/SDK/SDK_Export
SDK is extensively run while executing the AXI Interface Based ML605/SP605
MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem Software Tutorial.
2. Copy the
SDK_Export
directory into the SW area of the Tutorial sandbox for use with
UG670, AXI Interface Based ML605/SP605 MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem Software
Tutorial [Ref 7] . The directory that already exists can be overwritten.
• For ML605:
Copy

Subsystem\SDK\SDK_Export
to
ML605_Embedded_Kit\Tutorial_Sandbox\SW\standalone
• For SP605:
Copy
SP605_Embedded_Kit\Tutorial_Sandbox\HW\MicroBlaze_Processor_
Subsystem\SDK\SDK_Export
to
SP605_Embedded_Kit\Tutorial_Sandbox\SW\standalone
