embedded tips

Aug 10, 2007 3 Replies

Hi all,



I've been targeting the general logic of Virtex-2s and Virtex-4s for years now, but I'd like to start getting into embedded stuff... specifically programming the embedded Power PCs or the Microblaze. Also, I haven't used C in a really long time. Other than getting a Embedded Development Board from xilinx, does anyone have any tips to help me learn. Any recommended training courses? Books? Websites? Anything at all....



Thanks in advance.



I think you can learn to be familiar with the bus protocols: ATA/SATA, USB, Network Interface. You can choose one topic to do some experiments. For example, you can add a USB2.0 controller to your embedded system and you write a simple driver for it. I think you can learn much from that.
