Features: This book focuses on Xilinx's FPGA-based programmable system-on-chip (SoC), explaining the development and composition of programmable SoCs. It describes the basic structure of Xilinx's on-chip microprocessor soft core MicroBlaze and hard core PowerPC. The book also covers the functions and usage of SoC development tools. This system provides designers with a rich set of design tools and various standard peripheral device controllers, along with the methods for driving and calling these devices. The book outlines the methods for hardware design and software design of SoCs, as well as how to perform hardware verification (simulation) and software verification (debugging). It provides a step-by-step design process for creating a system with a CPU soft core using the design wizards within the system, and concludes with detailed examples of two design implementations. This book is suitable for researchers and developers working on hardware systems, graduate and undergraduate students in relevant fields at universities and research institutions, as well as computer enthusiasts interested in this field.
