Has anyone used this embedded PowerPC in the Virtex2 Pros?
We are working on a project where we will be pushing some functions into the processor on the FPGA. Basically- it will handle all the data path exceptions.
I am interested to hear how people interfaced the data to the processor (DPRAM, DMA, registers, etc) and especially interested to hear how they (or whether they) tested everything.
What sort of OS did you run? How hard was it to get everything to work together- to debug? How is the EDK toolset? Did you take formal training?
We order a development board and will be banging on that soon.
Thanks, WP
