Microcontroller in FPGA - Step by Step Tutorial - Adam Taylor

This step-by-step tutorial builds a MicroBlaze microcontroller inside an FPGA using Vivado, with DDR3 memory, VHDL logic, GPIO, USB UART, and an Integrated Logic Analyzer. It also demonstrates writing and debugging software for the embedded processor.
