| Quick Start Embedded Development with MicroBlaze and Linux 2.6 |
|
Overview:
In order to meet critical time to market pressures and rapidly changing application requirements, embedded systems have to be built on a flexible processing solution that can be customized to meet application requirements. This applies to both the software and the hardware platform since software makes up a significant portion of the embedded system development time and cost.
In the earlier MicroBlaze™ Quick Start webcast, we presented the advantages of a flexible processing solution and the steps to build a custom embedded system using MicroBlaze. In this joint LynuxWorks-Xilinx webcast, we present the advantages of open source embedded Linux 2.6 when used with MicroBlaze soft processor and its Memory Management Unit (MMU). Apart from explaining the robustness and ease of software development when an MMU is available, we will demonstrate the steps to rapidly build a Linux kernel image (BSP) for the design using automatic BSP generation tools.
In this webcast, attendees will learn:
- Advantages of using highly flexible software and hardware platforms - Linux and MicroBlaze
- Simple steps to build custom Linux kernel and software applications in minutes using automatic BSP generation tools
- How to gain hands-on experience with these solutions using low cost development kits
Who should attend:
- Embedded software developers
- System architects
- SoC, Microcontroller users
- Engineering or Technical managers
