EDK Design
This ML501 reference design utilizes the Embedded Development Kit (EDK) to create an
embedded processing system using the MicroBlaze processor and the extensive set of
peripherals offered through the EDK IP catalog. The ML501 EDK reference design contains
a complete EDK project that can be used to explore the features of the ML501 platforms.
The Overview and Setup presentation shows how to set up the design and the test
environment. The Stand-Alone Application presentation shows how to exercise the reference
design using the included software applications. EDK designs for the ML501 are available
