    2. Overview The GR740-MINI board is a compact evaluation platform built around the Frontgrade GR740 quad-core LEON4FT SPARC V8 processor and Lattice Semiconductor FPGA CertusPro-NX, shown in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1. Top view of GR740-MINI board The GR740-MINI architecture includes the following modules: •...

    6. Examples Bitstreams 6.1. Overview For the GR740-MINI board, there will be example bitstream(s) uploaded for end-user to easily interact with the hardware. The bitstreams are based on an architecture centered around the AMBA Advanced High-speed Bus (AHB), to which high-bandwidth units are connected. Low-bandwidth units are connected to the AMBA Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) which is accessed through an AHB to APB bridge.
