For MicroBlaze™ 6, MicroBlaze 7 and PowerPC® processors, BlueCat® Linux® is now available integrated in Xilinx® EDKs (embedded development kits).
For real-time systems, our LynxOS® support for the Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA brings 20 years of RTOS experience to Xilinx' PowerPC processors.
The Xilinx MicroBlaze and PowerPC EDKs provide a rich feature set for developing BlueCat Linux and LynxOS 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.
Training on developing embedded systems with BlueCat Linux and LynxOS is regularly offered.
