Networking Application for Embedded FPGA system

Abstract

This project discusses how to develop a networking application in Embedded FPGA system, associated with the Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processor. To develop an Embedded FPGA system, it is required to establish both hardware and software. This project focuses on the Xilinx FPGA Embedded System development understanding and software application development. This project uses 2 different development boards (Spartan 3E & Virtex 5) and a Embedded system Development Kits. Two different development boards are used in the project due to different designs. In this project, application can send and receive a raw data frame in order to establish a raw communication channel in two identical boards. The application can also transmit and receive a TCP data stream. During software application development, the software was found the sub product that it can help the FPGA system developer to capture data instead of Logic Analyzer to analyze the system performance.
