LabVIEW FPGA, MicroBlaze, and UART – Full Guide

Working from scratch, I created a LabVIEW FPGA project that imports a MicroBlaze design that communicates with LabVIEW via a UART, and has the ability to change the elf file in a much shorter time frame than before. I did this by adding the MicroBlaze to the project after it had been exported to Vivado, … Read more
