  6. EDK • The Embedded Development Kit (EDK) consists of the following: • Xilinx Platform Studio – XPS • Base System Builder – BSB • Creating/Importing IP Wizard • Hardware generation tool – PlatGen • Library generation tool – LibGen • Simulation generation tool – SimGen • GNU software development tools • System verification tool – XMD • Processor IP • Drivers for IP • Documentation • Use the GUI or the shell command tool to run the EDK tool

  7. Source Code Editor System Diagram View System Details View Integrated Hardware and Software System Development Tools Xilinx Platform Studio

  8. XPS Functions • Project management • MHS or MSS file • XMP file • Software application management • Platform management • Tool flow settings • Software platform settings • Tool invocation • Debug and simulation XPS HW/SW Simulation Hardware Design HW/SW Debug Software Design

  9. Hardware Design Example • We will build the following system from scratch (while no components are present in the system) • We will start with Project  Add/Edit Cores … (Dialog) OPB Bus PLB Bus UART INTC PLB2OPB PPC Timer PLB BRAM Cntlr PLB BRAM GPIO PLB BRAM Cntlr PLB BRAM GPIO MY IP GPIO
