This is a tutorial on how to get open source linux running on a digilent Virtex 2 Pro board.

All of these tutorials are designed for ISE and EDK. Some are done for version 9.1.  Some are done for version 9.2 and some are interchangeable.   They use Modelsim SE and are targeted for the ML-403 platform. This set is developed for use in the ECE 595 course.

Xilinx held an EDK workshop at the COSMIAC in April. Here are the tutorials and projects files.  Here are some links for Microblaze with the Spartan 3E board.

This is an introduction to EDK for a hello world project for the PPC.

This is a tutorial for installing ModelsimSE, compiling the licenses and installing and using the BFM for simulations.

This is a tutorial for setting up and running a BFM modelsim simulation.

This is a tutorial for learning EDK's "create/import peripheral wizard" by example. Here are the associated and referenced "resources"

Here is a test program for testing UDP datagrams. Here are the instructions.

Here is a python script which transmits "Hello World" over Ethernet in a UDP packet.  Here are the instructions.

This set is designed for teaching assembly language in the UNM Microprocessor course.

 This file contains all the tutorials combined into a single file.

The file contains the critical four files used in all tutorials

This tutorial is the debuger XMD reference guide. 

This tutorial is for an introduction to EDK, PowerPC and simple programming to read and write to memory.  When you are complete, you will know how to supply power to the ML403 board, create projects with the PowerPC, download the assembler code into the memory, disassemble the assembler code, examine memory locations, register values and other functions using the commands of the debugger provided by Xilinx.

This tutorial is for the ML403 LED board developed at UNM.  If you want any of these boards, E-mail the Deputy Director.

This tutorial describes the peripherals for the RS232 UART that has the ML403 board and the usage of the OPBUART 16550 for the implementation of subroutines that store, send and receive characters through the UART.

This tutorial describes the usage of interrupts in the ML403. More specifically, the usage of the interrupt controller and the registers associated with the interrupts in the PowerPC 405 are explored.

This tutorial is part two of dealing with interrupts in the UART.

This tutorial describes the types of IP related to the timer and shows the IP core and gives some assembler codes as examples.

Here are three UART files 1, 2, and 3 that are associated with the above tutorials.
