  • Xilinx FPGA Block ROM is used as FLASH and how to load the program in to this?

    Hi,

    I am using the SoC design from Desgn Start - Eval version for Cortex-M0 with only modification of using Xilinx Block ROM as the Memory for FLASH ROM as well as for RAM.

    And my goal is to load the application into the FLASH ROM (Xilinx Block ROM) using…

  • External BRAM as I/D memory for Cortex-M1 DesignStart package for Xilinx FPGAs

    Hi,

    I'd like to try and use external BRAM as the I/D memory for the Cortex-M1 DesignStart package for Xilinx FPGAs. The reference examples for Arty boards use the internal TCMs.

    I've built a design in Vivado with a BRAM connected to the AXI3 port mapped…
