Tutorial Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA ML506 Edition

I suggest you rename this file to something more meaningful like hellouart.bit.
The FPGA is now programmed and you can see the results in the terminal window:
Play sound with a sine wave using the AC97 codec
Summary
This tutorial makes use of the AC97 codec, LCD, UART (for text display) to play some sine waves
through the line-in port of the AC97 interface. User instructions will be displayed to a COM serial
window such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm. Also some simple instruction will be displayed to the
user via the on-board LCD screen.
To avoid reinventing the wheel, we will use some Xilinx pre-made board configuration files and
software.
Xilinx XPS
In order to use the on-board AC97 codec we would have to read the datasheet for the codec
available here:
http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml505/datasheets/87560554AD1981B_c.pdf
Then we would have to use our MicroBlaze softprocessor to setup AC97 according to its datasheet.
But Xilinx has already done this for use so we can just use theirs and tailor it to our needs.
First lets setup our file system to organize our project.
