Visual C project in the Xilinx Microblaze

Can I embed the C code from Visual C project in the Xilinx Microblaze? I have already created the EDK design of hardware and want to import my Visual studio based design of FIR filter into the Xilinx SDK. I don't know how to do it. Is it even possible? Any tips? Thanks!

Solution

  • Recently I am playing with Spartan06 from xilinx. As far as I can understand that you cannot import Visual C project to Xilinx Microblaze.

    This is because you need to use a cross compiler to target the Microblaze processor. Xilinx uses the CodeSourcery's gcc to do that. That is why you need to use the SDK to compile the program for Microblaze.

    To function properly in their board, you need to write correct values to correct registers ( as per your design ); that is where Xilinx C library will come handy.

    Also it will be cumbersome for you to setup the Xilinx C library in Visual C.

    hope this helps, regards
