EDK TUTORIALS

 

All of the tutorials on this page are designed for ISE and EDK; some are for Version 9.1, others for Version 9.2, and some are interchangeable.   They use Modelsim SE and are targeted for the ML-403 platform.

EDK Tutorial 1 - Introduction to EDK 9.2 and the ML403 Platrorm [Click Here]
A “hello world” project for the Power PC (PPC).

EDK Tutorial 2 - Installing ModelsimSE, Compiling and Installing the BFM [Click Here]
Compiling licenses, installing, and using the Bus Functional Model (BFM) for simulations.  The BFM facilitates simulation of the PPC bus.

UDP Tester Instructions [Click Here]

Python Script transmits "Hello World" over Ethernet in a UDP packet. Python can be downloaded here. To run the script, set the IP address of your LAN card to 192.168.2.X, where X is any number you desire between 1 and 254.  The Subnet mask needs to be 255.255.255.0 (default). The script must be executed from a DOS command prompt.

UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) Tutorial Using EDK in ML403 Board [Click Here]
This tutorial describes the peripherals for the RS232 UART that has the ML403 board and the usage of the OPBUART 16550 for the implementation of subroutines that store, send and receive characters through the UART.

UART Tutorial Using EDK in ML403 Board, Part 2: Interruptions [Click Here]
This tutorial is part two of dealing with interrupts in the UART.

Interruptions Using EDK 9.1 in the ML403 Board [Click Here]
This tutorial describes the usage of the interrupt controller, and the registers associated with the interrupts in the PowerPC 405 are explored.

Timer Counter Using EDK 9.2 in the ML403 Board [Click Here]
This tutorial describes the types of IP related to the timer and shows the IP core and gives some assembler codes as examples.
