Quick start your embedded software development with
Linux and VxWorks for Virtex-5 FPGAs
Time: Available On Demand
Location: Your Desktop

Webcast Overview:
Software development takes up a significant portion of the overall
embedded system design, you need robust software platforms (OSes, Middleware)
to build your applications, which is the topic of our next Webcast.
In this joint Wind River-Xilinx Webcast, we give you an overview of
various embedded software platforms available for developing systems
with Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs, including a full fledged Embedded OS like Linux
and real time OSes like VxWorks. We'll take a look at their ease of
use and secure real-time responsiveness. We'll demonstrate how you can
quickly build a Linux or VxWorks kernel image using automatic BSP generation
tools, and we will show off complete development kits that deliver hands-on
experience with these solutions to get you started quickly.
In this webcast, attendees will learn:
- Advantages of using highly flexible software and hardware platforms
- Linux and Virtex-5 FXT FPGAs
- Simple steps to build custom Linux or VxWorks kernel and software
applications in minutes using automatic BSP generation tools
- How to gain hands-on experience with these solutions using complete
development kits
Who should attend:
- Embedded Software developers
- System architects
- SoC, ASSP, Microcontroller users
- Engineering or Technical managers
