The workshop materials include 3 hands-on labs. By completing these labs, you can 1. Explore the ARM Architecture in Xilinx Vivado 2. Understand the flow to implement Arm Cortex-M processors in on Spartan 7 3. Use the Xilinx Vivado Design Suite, and drag-and-drop ARM Cortex-M3 soft IP on Spartan 7 4. Create a simple environmental monitoring application Link: https://digilent.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/resources/programmable-logic/arty-s7/Integrating%2BArm%2BM1%2Binto%2BXilinx%2BFPGAs_Workbook.pdf?_ga=2.161529662.345283832.1591980418-123638491.1591980418

Second : you have high speed bus such as video bus benween processor and FPGA. For other application preffered external standard processor. Regards Alex.
Hi, any more information you could give about it? - Is the HDL opensource? - If not, is it bound to specific device/toolversion? - Can it be used in simulation? - What clock rates are achievable with the Spartan 7? - Ressource usage? - can user instructions be added to the cpu? - which versions of the ARM are available? You write M3 here, but tutorial seems to use M1?
Some information about the IP core can be found on the ARM website: https://www.arm.com/resources/designstart/designstart-fpga > - Is the HDL opensource? No, but it seems that it is royality free. Quote: "just a simple agreement", didn't found much more. > - If not, is it bound to specific device/toolversion? Xilinx Vivado and GoWin. > - Can it be used in simulation? > - What clock rates are achievable with the Spartan 7? > - Ressource usage? > - can user instructions be added to the cpu? I don't know. Good questions. > - which versions of the ARM are available? You write M3 here, but > tutorial seems to use M1? M1 and M3

I think so. https://developer.arm.com/docs/101483/0000/working-with-the-cortex-m3-designstart-example-design/simulation > - What clock rates are achievable with the Spartan 7? I think you can check when you open the core in Vivado. That is what you are doing in Lab 1. > - Resource usage? Check the ARM Cortex M3 guide https://developer.arm.com/docs/101483/0000/working-with-the-cortex-m3-designstart-example-design/simulation > - can user instructions be added to the cpu?

Thanks for all the links, will check them out. That a simulation model exists is great, even if it's very restricted with specific version of the core because of security.
