Processor References, Driver Reference Guide

•Driver Reference Guide

This guide provides detailed API and other information for each driver provided in the EDK installation. The guide is presented as a web page with links to a set of web- based documentation.

IP Reference Guides

•Processor IP Reference Guide (Xilinx Processor IP Library)

Processor IP is an important part of the EDK distribution. Its documentation consists of individual datasheets with important information about parameters and port connections for each IP. This information is required by hardware designers for designing their system. For systems created through the Base System Builder, some of the basic connections are done by a wizard, but for advanced connections and other peripherals, refer to the Processor IP Reference Guide.

This guide also provides easy access to the core data-sheet, modification history, architecture support information and ready access to purchase information for pay cores. It is presented as a web page with links to a set of web-based documentation.

•PLB46 Interface Simplifications (SP026 v1.0)

Describes the simplifications to the PLB v4.6 specification in the Xilinx implementation of the bus. The document also provides guidance for designing masters and slaves that connect to the bus.

•PLB v3.4 and OPB to PLB v4.6 System and Core Migration User Guide (UB443 v1.0)

This user guide provides an overview of the Xilinx implementation of the PLB v4.6 bus. It then explains how both Microblaze and PowerPC405 systems can be migrated to use the new interconnect. Instructions are also provided on how to migrate user- designed slave and master peripheral cores.

Processor References
