Analysis of Resource Utilization in FPGA Implementation of an Embedded System Using Soft Core Processor.

Embedded systems are application-specific computers that interact with the physical world. Reconfigurable technologies provide designers the opportunity to diminish the life-cycle in embedded system creation. The basic purpose of using reconfigurable technologies is for solving the problem of obsolescence. New emerging capabilities in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), including improvements in power consumption, time delays, and cost per unit device, are enabling us to incorporate these devices in several designs as reconfigurable embedded processors. The major objective of this work was to implement an embedded system on FPGA using soft core processor and analyze the effect of on-board memories on resource utilization. An audio system has been selected for implementation.
