8 Getting Started with the MicroBlaze Development Kit - Spartan-3E 1600E Editionwww.xilinx.com UG258 (v1.3) November 30, 2007Chapter 1: MicroBlaze Development Kit - Getting Started RHelloWorld DemoThis is the design shipped with the board. This is a simple demonstration that exercises afew of the board features. The embedded MicroBlaze Processor prints messages on thecharacter LCD screen. Flashes the LEDs, reads the Switches and Buttons and sends textdata as standard out over a DTE UART with following settings, Baud rate of 115200, 1 Stopbit, No Parity, and No Flow Control. This application is loaded into the Platform FlashPROM.μClinux DemoThis is a demonstration of μClinux running on the MiroBlaze soft processor. The μClinuxReference System supports many basic linux commands. The list of commands and toolsavailable to run can be found in the /bin directory. The μClinux kernel supports severalnetwork utilities when connected to a live network or to a remote computer. The μClinuximage is loaded into the Intel StrataFlash PROM.BlueCat Linux DemoThis is a demonstration of LynuxWorks BlueCat Linux running on the MiroBlaze softprocessor. Refer to the BlueCat Linux Reference System chapter for details and instructionson how to run the BlueCat Linux demo. The BlueCat Linux image is not loaded into theIntel StrataFlash PROM.Note: The μClinux image is pre-loaded into the Intel Strata Flash PROM using the BPI Upconfiguration mode. Therefore, for booting the system using the the Lynuxworks Bluecat Linux, theIntel Strata Flash PROM must be re-programmed with the BlueCat linux image in the BPI UpConfiguration mode.Address Map for the BPI Flash PROMTable 1-1 shows the address map for the PROM files in the StrataFlash PROM device.TheAddress Map is shown for the Pre-loaded μClinux kernel and also for the BlueCat LinuxDemo System after re-programming the Flash.Table 1-1: StrataFlash PROM Address MapPROM File Start Address End Address TotalSpaceAddress Mapping of Pre-loaded μClinux DemoμClinux Design (Bit file) 0x00000000 0x000B62E3 746KBUnused 0x000B62E4 0x000FFFFF 302KBμClinux Kernel Image 0x00100000 0x006D24A7 6104KBUnused 0x006D24A8 0x006FFFFF 187KBAddress Mapping for BlueCat Linux DemoBlueCat Linux Design (Bit file) 0x00000000 0x000B6400 729KBUnused 0x000B6400 0x007FFFFF 7463KBBlueCat Linux Kernel Image 0x00800000 0x00DBD200 5877KBUnused 0x00DBD200 0x00FFFFFF 2316KBwww.BDTIC.com/XILINX
