I assume it means it's essentially pin-compatible, like, say, a PCIe GPU upgrade would be.
Still needs new software.
But has the same HDMI and PCIe and the same low-level protocols.
- AlotOfReading 3y agoSoft cores don't have their own pins. I think "hardware compatible" means that it runs on the same FPGAs as microblaze arm with the same toolchain product suite.
- addaon 3y ago"Pins", in this case, means the logical ports used to interface one module within an FPGA to another. Think AMBA bus, clock(s), interrupt lines, etc. An FPGA SOC design that currently throws a bunch of different IPs (modules) together to do... something... could do the same with this core thrown in to replace a (classic) Microblaze with only a resynthesis on the hardware side, and a recompile on the software side.
