3. I. INTRODUCTION
This paper describes a embedded systems on field-programmable gate array(FPGA) .
The paper focuses on Linux operating system for Xilinx’s MicroBlaze based embedded platforms.
XUPV2P development board

4. II.XUPV2P development board

5. II.XUPV2P development board

6. III.FPGA Features
FPGA compatible with the PLD (Programmable Logic Device)and the advantages of universal gate array(NAND and NOR) can achieve large-scale circuitry.
Programming is also very flexible.
It also has a short development cycle design, advanced development tools, standard products without testing, stable quality and a real-time online testing.

7. IV. Embedded Systems
An embedded system can be defined as a special purpose computer .
Many of these systems are focused on performing a multiplex task, or a very limited set of tasks.
Sometimes need to meet some restrictions such as real-time operation, cost, size or power consumption constraints.

8. V. Embedded System Features
Reliability and security
The system must be reliable and secure against errors.
Interaction with physical devices
The communication of embedded systems is performed through unusual input/output devices that sometimes require signal conditioning.
Robustness
The conditions of the embedded systems operation may be adverse, so they must be as robust as possible. For example these systems may be placed inside a vehicle with different operating conditions.

9. VI. Embedded Linux System
Linux kernel has granularity and modularity that make it easy to configure it to work on the hardware.
An embedded system may need a flash file system (CRAMFS or JFFS2).

10. VII. Petalinux
Cross-compiler tool chain、Linux kernel 、 GNU software、debugger and C/C++ libraries.
PetaLinux incorporates all these features in the development environment that integrates with EDK and ISE Xilinx tools, and through AutoConfig tool simplifies synchronization between hardware and software.

11. VIII. Petalinux Setup Step

13. IX. Xilinx Platform Studio(XPS)
Select the OS

14. Select device

15. Generate file auto-config.in

16. X. Building and Dowloading a Linux
Set Environment Variables

17. Installation GNU Compiler Collection(GCC).

18. uClinux Source packages www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/

19. make menuconfig EDK file import and uClinux basic configuration.
Then autoconfig.in copy to Linux . (/linux- 2.4.x/arch/microblaze/platform/uclinux-auto)
make menuconfig

20. Select CPU

21. Select driver

22. Generate file image.bin

23. Dowloading

25. XI. Conclusion Products come more quickly Higher flexibility
Renewable and design reuse
Long product life cycle
