Hardware Tutorial

Introduction

This tutorial provides the steps required to build and modify the Xilinx® ML605
MicroBlaze™ Processor Subsystem or the Xilinx SP605 MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem.
The tutorial starts with steps in building the basic subsystem. The basic subsystem is then
modified by adding the cores necessary to measure throughput on AXI Central DMA
(AXI_CDMA).
Additional information can be found in UG683, EDK Concepts, Tools, and Techniques.
Readers are encouraged to refer to UG683 during the execution of this tutorial.
Users should allow approximately three hours to complete this entire tutorial.
