MicroBlaze 6, MicroBlaze 7 and PowerPC: BlueCat Embedded Linux for Xilinx Processor Boards

XILINX PDF BROCHURE (166 kB)

For MicroBlaze™ 6, MicroBlaze 7 and PowerPC® Xilinx® processors, BlueCat® Linux® is now available integrated in Xilinx EDKs (embedded development kits).

The Xilinx MicroBlaze and PowerPC EDKs provide a rich feature set for developing BlueCat Linux applications and configuring custom BSPs using Xilinx hardware designs. The EDKs also provide an easy path to system expansion with additional PowerPC and MicroBlaze hardware based on the Virtex-4 FPGA or the Spartan-3E FPGA.

The Eclipse-based Luminosity IDE for embedded software development is also a perfect companion alongside the Xilinx EDK and Eclipse-based Platform Studio.

Our MicroBlaze 7 board-support package will work on most MicroBlaze 7-based processor boards with the same IP core and EDK, in addition to those which we list here.
