XILINX SOLUTIONS<br />

be fixed, upgraded, or otherwise modified after the system has been deployed<br />

in the field.<br />

The design technology for creating Xilinx Online applications is called<br />

Internet Reconfigurable <strong>Logic</strong>, or IRL. IRL design technology comprises robust<br />

PLD technology, your network connectivity, and software design tools.<br />

Put these individual pieces together and network-based hardware<br />

upgradeability becomes a reality. You can access details through the “Systems<br />

Resources” main web page or visit www.xilinx.com/irl.<br />

CONFIGURATION SOLUTIONS<br />

Located under the “Products and Services” section of the Xilinx website,<br />

this section provides easy-to-use, pre-engineered solutions to configure all Xilinx<br />

FPGAs and CPLDs.<br />

All aspects of configuration are explained, whether from a PROM for<br />

FPGAs or via ISP for CPLDs. The section also includes third-party Boundary<br />

Scan tools, embedded software solutions, ISP cables, ATE and programmer<br />

support, and configuration storage devices.<br />

PROCESSOR CENTRAL<br />

This section provides information that will enable you to reap maximum<br />

benefits from Xilinx FPGA processing solutions.<br />

It offers the freedom to design a custom solution with a choice of hard processors<br />

(as many as four embedded PowerPC processors in Virtex-II Pro<br />

devices) or soft processors (with the MicroBlaze soft processor core and Pico-<br />

Blaze microprocessor core in Virtex-II, Virtex-E, Spartan-II, and Spartan-IIE<br />

FPGAs).<br />

Processor Central also includes more than 40 soft processor peripherals and<br />

the necessary embedded software tools to easily complete your design.<br />

The Processor Central section has the following detailed web pages:<br />

The Embedded Development Kit (EDK)<br />

EDK is an all-encompassing solution for designing embedded programmable<br />

systems using the IBM PowerPC hard processor core and the Xilinx Micro-<br />

Blaze soft processor core in Xilinx FPGAs.<br />

PowerPC Embedded Processor Solution<br />

Embedding IBM's PowerPC processor core into the Virtex-II Pro FPGA provides<br />

the ultimate platform FPGA solution.<br />

The UltraController Solution<br />

Xilinx offers a powerful, easy-to-use Virtex-II Pro FPGA PowerPC-based<br />

microcontroller solution ideal for embedded hardware and software applications.<br />
