Tao Xidian University, Xi'an 710071 Abstract:The FPGA such as Virtex-II
pro developed by Xilinx Company is embedded with Power PC processor hard
core by combining technology of programmable system on chip (SOPC).
Integrating the advantages of Linux operating system (OS) and the
embedded PowerPC processor hard core, the transplantation of Linux OS in
the PowerPC405 processor on the Virtex-II Pro developing platform is
studied and implemented, among which the customization of hardware
board, establishment of cross compiler, configuration of Linux kernel
and the construction of a root file system are included. At the end, the
stability and reliability of the system are verified by concrete
application. The processor, OS and FPGA are fused to complete the
established signal processing task. It is featured as not only multitask
and real time, but also the advantages of FPGA is executed. It has
perfect application prospect.[著者文摘]
