Preface
About This Guide
Welcome to the Embedded Developement Kit. This kit is designed to provide designers
with a rich set of design tools and a wide selection of standard peripherals required to
build embedded processor systems using MicroBlaze, the industry’s fastest soft processor
solution, and the new and unique feature in Virtex-II Pro, the IBM ® PowerPC ® CPU.
This guide provides information about the Embedded System Tools (EST) included in the
Embedded Development Kit (EDK). These tools, consisting of processor platform tailoring
utilities, software application development tool, a full featured debug tool chain and
device drivers and libraries, allow the developer to fully exploit the power of MicroBlaze
and Virtex-II Pro.
