System Design Flow

System Design Flow
The design flow for creating the base MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem and modifying the
system to include the benchmarking cores includes these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Allocate approximately 90 minutes for parts 1 and 2. The bulk of this tutorial is within
parts 3 through 5 which takes approximately two hours to complete.
Note:
