Embed MicroBlaze onto NI FPGA based boards with LabVIEW 2013SP1 and COREGEN

Introduction

We introduce the combination of COREGEN flow and LabVIEW FPGA flow to allow users write their C code applications on MicroBlaze^TM processors on National Instrument FPGA based boards.

Requirements

• LabVIEW + LabVIEW FPGA   (Version 2013SP1)
• NI-RIO drivers (13.0 or later)
• NI FPGA based hardware
  • Should be compatible with any R-series, FlexRIO, sbRIO ,cRIO boards  and myRIO.
• Xilinx SDK 14.4
• MicroBlaze_nilabsV2_2_1.zip

Installation:

1. Download and unzip attached MicroBlaze_nilabsV2_2_1.zip
2. Follow the installation steps in Readme.txt
