Microchip Polarfire SoC series - #3 Custom IP
Welcome to the blog post number 3 in the Microchip PolarFire SoC series!
Today, we’re integrating a custom IP into the PolarFire SoC video kit’s base design, addressing a key aspect of practical FPGA development. We’re going to add the system version IP that I have created for the FPGA meets devops video series, but this time the bus interface is APB instead of AXI. A simple testbench written in Python and cocoTB is used to validate the IP. And we’re going to add the system version application to the Linux image with a custom meta layer.
In this blog post, I assume you’ve watched the first two videos of the Microchip Polarfire SoC series where I explained how to install the tools, build the Yocto image, etc.
