FPGAs are quite flexible and can be used as programmable logic devices, but also as microcontrollers, since ...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/technologies/fpga-group/b/blog/posts/arty-s7-accelerometer-based-pointerFri, 08 Jan 2021 05:45:59 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f01565f9-0c30-4ea6-bf2a-a84bab187d54saadtiwana_int1<p>That looks very neat, great job!! Thanks for sharing!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, curious what was your reasoning to choose Microblaze over the ARM&nbsp; as the soft processor? Until somewhat recently Microblaze has been the only option, and i have used that in the past, but i think i want to try out the ARM core next time i need to instantiate a processor inside the FPGA, instead of Microblaze. Mostly i have been using Zynq series FPGAs which meant I didn&#39;t have to go for a soft processor, but in some use-cases the power consumption is too high on the A9 inside Zynq7000. </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=10425&AppID=19&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
