The
ready_for_download
directory contains the pre-built bitstream and ELF files for
the ML605 or SP605 MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem. The directory structure of the
ML605_System
is shown in DS668,
AXI Interface Based ML605 Embedded Kit MicroBlaze
Processor Subsystem Data Sheet
. The directory structure of the
SP605_System
is
shown in DS667,
AXI Interface Based SP605 Embedded Kit MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem
Data Sheet
.
The pre-built bitstream and ELF files file are used to verify that the software is properly
installed and that the board is set up correctly. To execute the system using these files,
follow these steps:
1.
Connect a USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-pin cable between the ML605 or SP605 USB JTAG
connector and the host computer.
2.
Verify that the USB cable is properly connected to the USB UART connection and the
host computer, as described in UG668,

Embedded Development Kit
, or UG667,

.
3.
If the board is not already powered on, power on the ML605 board.
4.
Open and configure a serial communications terminal utility program with these
settings:
•
Baud Rate:
9600
•
Data:
8 bit
•
Parity:
None
•
Stop:
1 bit
•
Flow Control:
None
shows the serial port setup window.
Note:
The Port setting (COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4) can vary based on the system setup
and might be set up differently than shown in
. It should be set appropriately for the
user’s system.
