EDK MicroBlaze Spartan-3A Starter Kit Reference Design

Christophe Charpentier
5/9/2007

Requirements:
-------------
EDK 9.1.01
ISE 9.1.03

Hardware:
---------
Xilinx Spartan-3A Starter Kit board
USB Cable (provided with the Kit)
Serial cable
Ethernet cross-over cable

Implementation:
---------------
XPS is used to implement the system.
The EDK MCH_OPB_DDR2 controller code has been modified to meet timing on the DQS
outputs.

Software:
---------
The main application is loaded in internal LMB BRAM.
The system tests and WebServer applications run from DDR2 memory

Step by Step Instructions:


--------------------------
1) Open the system.xmp file in XPS

2) The system contains


- MicroBlaze v6 running at 66.67MHz
- LMB BRAM (16KB)
- MCH OPB DDR2 DRAM running at 133MHz (64MB)
- OPB UartLite (9600)
- OPB GPIO for LEDs
- OPB GPIO for buttons
- OPB GPIO for DIP switches
- OPB EMC Controller for BPI Flash (4MB)
- OPB Timer
- OPB Interrupt Controller
- OPB LCD Controller (custom core)
- OPB Rotary Switch (custom core)
- OPB Ethernet (10/100)
- Hardware Debug Module

3) The Implementation is done by XPS


- Go to Hardware > Generate Bitstream to generate a bit file

4) Compile the code


- Go to Software > Build All User Applications

6) Configure the FPGA


- Power on the Spartan-3A Starter Kit. Connect the USB cable
- Connect the serial cable
- Open Hyperterminal at 9600,8,1, no parity
- Go to Device Configuration > Download Bitstream

7) The application will output the result of the DDR2 memory test to the serial
terminal

To run the System Tests application:


------------------------------------
1) Open XMD

2) Type: cd system_tests

3) Type: rst

4) Download the application to DDR2


- Type: dow executable.elf

5) Run the application


- Type: run

To run the WebServer application:


---------------------------------
1) Create the Memory File System Image
- Go to Project > Launch EDK Shell
- Type:
cd WebPage
- Type:
mfsgen �cvbfs ../WebServer/image.mfs 600 404.html index.html
logoV2005.gif xapp433.pdf
- Close the shell

2) Connect a cross-over Ethernet cable

3) Download the application to memory


- Open XMD
- Type:
rst
- Type:
dow -data WebServer/image.mfs 0x25000000
- Type:
dow WebServer/executable.elf
- Type:
con

4) In the serial terminal, configure the Ethernet address

5) The rotary switch will update the first line of the LCD. Pushing on
the switch will update Line 2 with the contents of Line 1.

6) Open a web browser


- Type (use the IP address configured above):
http:/192.168.0.2:80
- Follow the instructions on the web page
