The stripe portion of the ARM-based Excalibur device contains the ARM processor core, peripherals, and memory subsystem. The dual-port RAM memory and the system bridges support the interface between the stripe and the programmable logic array.
This section describes how to use the MegaWizard® Plug-In Manager (Tools menu) to create a megafunction variation of the ARM-based Excalibur embedded processor megafunction and instantiate it in the top-level design file, arm_top.bdf. The Mega-Wizard Plug-In Manager allows you to create or modify design files that contain custom variations of megafunctions, such as the ARM-based Excalibur embedded processor megafunction. The ARM-Based Excalibur MegaWizard Plug-In helps you to specify options for the embedded processor stripe easily. Once the ARM-Based Excalibur MegaWizard Plug-In generates the embedded processor stripe, you can instantiate it in the design file.
