Getting started with Microblaze: A little more than just "Hello World"

[t_roa]

Hi,

I am an professional VHDL/Verilog based system designer. I always admired C/C++ based systems programming(the embedded world).

Seems like after so many years I finally got a chance. And here is my problem:

I haven't programmed any microcontroller ever. And I need to do a complete Microblaze based design now. 

I can design block diagram in Vivado, the problem is C/C++ programming and understanding what registers to set for a particular tasks(kinda very different from what we do in Verilog based programming).

All I need now a few explained examples of lets say button based interrupts implementations, Timers or Timer based interrupts, UART or something like that. Just few examples. I already have kits with me (Trenz and Arty 7 25)

Please help me with that. Any examples, any link or advice is welcome.

Hi. Here's a nice little GPIO Microblaze demo for your Arty S7-25 board.

And if you want something more advanced check out our Genesys 2 FMC-Pcam-Adapter demo. Here you can find the Vivado 2020.1 hardware and Vitis 2020.1 software repo branches.

Also make sure to look through DocNav which comes pre-installed with Vivado, there should be plenty of documentation about Microblaze there.
