Generating The Mfs Image; Compiling The Web Server Code And Downloading The Bitstream - Xilinx MicroBlaze Spartan-3E 1600E Edition Getting Started

Executing the Web Server Reference System

Generating the MFS Image

The Web Server reference design requires that a memory file system be initialized for
download into the DDR memory before the design can be executed. The MFS image must
be generated before the Web Server is downloaded.
To generate the MFS image, follow these steps:

Open an EDK shell by selecting Project → Launch EDK Shell... in XPS.
Change the directory to the project's /WebPage directory with the following
command:
cd WebPage
Remove any preexisting MFS images in the project's /WebServer directory by using
the following command:
rm ../WebServer/*.mfs
Generate the MFS image as follows:
mfsgen -cvbfs ../WebServer/image.mfs 600 404.html index.html

and Libraries Document Collection document, in the EDK documentation directory.
Exit the EDK shell.
In XPS, select Software → Build All User Applications to compile the software
application.
Connect the USB cable from the PC to the board.
Select Device Configuration → Download Bitstream in XPS. The bitstream is
downloaded to the board by the iMPACT tool. When the FPGA device is configured,
the DONE light is illuminated on the board.
