With processor-based systems, many of us like the simplicity and flexibility of communicating with our software applications through a terminal (like PuTTY). <<more...>>
In previous posts, I've introduced the ZPUino softcore processor and shown how to build the base instance for an FPGA. But the real advantage of the ZPUino is being able to extend it by attaching new peripherals to the core processor in the VHDL description. The best way to learn something is by doing it, so in this post I'll show how to integrate a simple RGB LED driver peripheral into the ZPUino. <<more...>>
