PicoBlaze Design and
Development Tools
Under development.
FPGA/CPLD
The PicoBlaze embedded controller core is provided as VHDL and sometimes Verilog source code. This controller plus any additional user logic is then processed using the Xilinx ISE development software. The PicoBlaze controller core is supported by the free Xilinx WebPACK version of the ISE software.
The Xilinx PicoBlaze core download file includes the Xilinx KCPSM assembler. However, there are a variety of other options available from talented PicoBlaze fans and developers.
