microblaze using SysGen

Hi,

Matlab SysGen provide a microblaze module that we can have the design of 
microblaze processor together with other FPGA logic solely defined in the 
SysGen design environment. But when I try to place more than one microblaze 
module, says two microblaze communication through some FPGA logics, SysGen 
fails to compile such a case. Are there any solutions to achieve 
multi-microblaze in one chip?

Many thanks,
Terrence 

Hi Terrence,

SysGen currently only supports single processor designs. The work around 
is to create one half of a design in SysGen, and to export that to the 
EDK. From the EDK add in the required number of MicroBlazes and connect 
them up via the EDK-SysGen export.

For example, have one Microblaze connect up to your SysGen logic, 
connect the ports that would otherwise link up to your second MicroBlaze 
to SysGen gateway blocks. When you export this design, the gateway ports 
will become toplevel ports in the exported pcore.

You can than go into EDK and link the 'dangling' pcore ports to another 
MicroBlaze.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
shay
