Overview

MicroBlaze™ is a 32-bit RISC soft processor core that can be used with soft peripherals to design embedded systems in Xilinx FPGAs. The MicroBlaze microcontroller is an integrated solution intended for implementation of an embedded controller in the Spartan®-3 FPGA using the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) and the Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS). The MicroBlaze Microcontroller design includes an internal block RAM (BRAM) memory, an RS232 UART, 4 GPIO blocks and a JTAG UART used for software debugging. Designers can use this example reference design to understand how to use MicroBlaze as a microcontroller for applications in industrial control, consumer, and data communication.

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.
