i heve read from a little time the LEON2 CORE. I have a question:



Which thing you me councils for this board? uclinux on microblaze or LEON2 on uclinux?



what different between LEON2 and microblaze?



thanks lots. Regards R!SC


You will achieve a much higher max clock freq with microblaze than LEON2, because Microblaze is specifically tuned for the Xilinx parts (and other reasons).

LEON2

I'm finding out that fmax not a useful indicator of performance. The bottom line is how fast can the core execute your algorithm. Sure you might get a

100MHz vs. 50MHz fmax, but if reads take 12 clocks for the 200Mz core vs. 3 for the 50 MHz core then which would you rather have? fmax is for shiny brochures IMO.
