Microblaze soft-core with Spartan-3E kit

[walido81]

Hello,

I'm looking for an example about running a Microblaze soft-core with Spartan-3E kit (S3E500) and programming the Ethernet interface. Also, would you please advise any examples about ptogramming Picoblaze soft-core with Spartan-3E kit? Thanks in advance!

There are many boards based on the 3S500E. If you are talking about the Xilinx/Digilent Spartan-3E Starter Kit (http://www.xilinx.com/products/devkits/HW-SPAR3E-SK-US-G.htm), then

-Base System Builder in EDK supports this board. You may find that helpful to get started. There are also a few other MicroBlaze examples in the reference design section for this board, though I don't think they specifically address Ethernet.

-PicoBlaze/kcpsm3 has many examples. Quite a few of these examples are included in the reference design section for this board:

There are other examples (some may require some modification) for the S3A/AN SK as well:

Thanks foryour valuable feedback!

ActuallyI'm not a newbie with EDK, I'm just looking for an example addresses the Ethernetprogramming with Spartan-3E starter kit. Is that available?

I have justdone addressing all peripherals on Spartan-3E starter kit using LABVIEW-FPGA,but the driver doesn't support Ethernet interface. So I have to do that usingEDK.

Thanks,
