WARP v3 User Guide: Template Projects

The following template projects demonstrate how to use the various peripherals on the WARP v3 board and are good starting points for your custom designs.

The projects are categorized by the version of Xilinx tools used.

Xilinx ISE 13.4

On Board Peripherals Template Project

Enlarge | View PDF

This is an XPS/SDK project implementing:

  • MicroBlaze soft processor
  • Block RAM for instruction/data memory
  • User I/O (LEDs, buttons, UART)
  • Dual Ethernet interfaces
  • MPMC for DDR3 SO-DIMM access
  • Peripherals for RF interface control
  • Timer peripheral for user code

Lite Project

This is an XPS/SDK project implementing:

  • MicroBlaze soft processor
  • Block RAM for instruction/data memory
  • User I/O (LEDs, buttons, UART)
  • Peripherals for RF interface control
  • Timer peripheral for user code

Which Project Should I use?

The On Board Peripherals Template Project contains the full suite of hardware components offered by a standalone WARP v3 board. The only reason to use the "Lite" version of the project is to speed up building time (and reduce computer memory usage) in projects that do not need the full compliment of WARP peripherals. For reference, on a 3.4GHz i7-2600 with 16GB of RAM running Windows 7 64-bit, built times of the template projects are:

Project

Build Time

On Board Peripherals

17 minutes

Lite

9 minutes

Note: These times are from projects that had hardware "cleaned" such that no cached support files were used. When iterating on a design, build times can often be faster as the tools will re-use cached portions of the design that were unchanged.

Other Projects

The XPS/SDK projects for the latest OFDM Reference Design and WARPLab Reference Design are also available. These projects build on the same foundation as the projects above.
