Improve Your MicroBlaze Development

Let our extensive experience with the MicroBlaze family of microprocessors help your product development. ThreadX, our high-performance real-time kernel, helps improve your product's quality and its time-to-market. In addition, using ThreadX makes it easier to enhance your product in the future.

MicroBlaze Optimizations

ThreadX optimizes context switching on the MicroBlaze. When context switching occurs inside of a ThreadX service call, only the registers preserved across function calls are saved as part of the thread's context.

A similar technique is used in interrupt handling. On the front end of interrupt service routines, only the compiler's scratch registers are saved initially. The full register set is saved only if thread preemption is required.

Xilinx EDK Integration

ThreadX is fully integrated with the Xilinx EDK development tools, including the advanced EDK automated driver library integration.
