MicroBlaze in BASYS3: Creating a Microcontroller on FPGA with Vivado & Vitis

[@DavidTLutz]

Great video. I am glad you including all the errors. Fixings errors are as much a part of the learning process as the the correct configuration and programming is. COM port worked fine with Putty in this video, contrary to what I have experienced with ADC video using the MSP430.

I'm glad that it was helpful. I replied to your comment for the msp430, I hope the jumper settings help you with it.

Thank you beautifully explained. I liked the fact you left all the errors so we can see what to expect. Thank you again 🙏👌I am going to test it on my Basys3.

Good luck with that! Just clear the .xdc file (just leave the last four push buttons) and increase the memory from the start, that’s going to save you lots of time 👍

Basically, when using FPGA boards, you have to build soft-microprocessor from verilog and another source code for that processor to run. Extra step compare to normal MCU or SBC.

THIS IS FANTANSTIC !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

[@drselim]

You’re welcome! 👍

I installed the new Vitis interface and it seems everything is different.

[@Bwajster]

Does Vitis HLS v2022.1 support built-in HLS Functions such as hls::Threshold, hls::Erode, hls::Dilate, hls::Mul, hls::Duplicate, hls::MinMaxLoc, hls::CvtColor etc.? How do I make use of these functions on Vitis HLS ?

[@drselim]

Hi, I haven’t used the functions you’ve mentioned and unfortunately I don’t have my Basys3 board so I can’t test it. I can try them if i obtain a board in the future and respond to your comment.
