Congratulations! You have now run a Video demo using the SP605 board with Spartan-6 LX45T
FPGA and the MicroBlaze soft processor. Since you are provided with a fully
configured MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem, you can start developing embedded
software. Also since you are using an FPGA, you can fully customize this
processor system. In order to do this, you have to install the ISE Design Suite 12.1
tools and the USB-UART driver on your computer. The
of ISE Design Suite 12.1
steps.

Getting Started with the PetaLinux Demonstration

This Spartan-6 Embedded Kit comes with a PetaLinux demo available on the provided
Compact Flash card. PetaLinux is an Embedded Linux System Development Kit
specifically targeting FPGA-based system-on-chip designs. You can run this demo to get
an overview of the features of the SP605 Evaluation Board using a MicroBlaze Processor
Subsystem in the Spartan-6 LX45T FPGA. More information about PetaLogix, including
how to evaluate or purchase it, can be found at http://www.petalogix.com/petalinux.

Selection
Either select one of the images shown or browse to an
uncompressed 24BPP Windows bitmap image in the
Image Selection SP605_Embedded_Kit\Test_Images directory. This image is sent to
the MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem and displayed. FIR filters are
applied to the image.
Identity Output image is unmodified.
Areas of high contrast are detected and shown in white; the
Edge Detect
remainder of the image is black.
Smooth A slight blurring effect is applied to the output image.
Sharpen Contrast is increased in the output image.
Manually entered coefficients are sent to the MicroBlaze Processor
User
Subsystem and applied to the output image.
The MicroBlaze Processor Subsystem continuously cycles from
Auto
Identity to Edge Detect effects until a new selection is chosen.
Gain Slider controls the output image gain (0.0 - 1.0).
Try clicking the various options that adjust the image and notice the affect on the
image displayed on the monitor.
Either select one of the displayed images or click Browse and select a new image from
the SP605_Embedded_Kit\Test_Images directory.
The selected image should now be displayed on the DVI (or VGA) monitor.
Repeat step 5 and step 6 as desired.
