OpenFire Processor - Free Xilinx Microblaze Clone
The OpenFire soft processor is an open source Verilog implementation of the Xilinx MicroBlaze processor. Like the MicroBlaze, the OpenFire is a 32-bit RISC processor based on the DLX architecture by Hennessy and Patterson. The OpenFire was developed by Stephen Craven, a PhD student at Virginia Tech, specifically for configurable array research. As such, certain features of the MicroBlaze were not initially implemented. The original...

PacoBlaze - free soft core for Xilinx
PacoBlaze is a from-scratch synthesizable & behavioral Verilog clone of Ken Chapman's popular PicoBlaze embedded microcontroller. KCAsm is a lightweight PicoBlaze assembler written in Java. While Ken's version aims toward the most efficient implementation in the Xilinx FPGA architecture, PacoBlaze tries to be as configurable as possible, maintaining source code compatibility and code cycle accuracy with the original PicoBlaze. It also...

FPGA and other programmable logic ICs
FPGA is an integrated circuit that contains many (64 to over 10,000) identical logic cells that can be viewed as standard components. Each logic cell can independently take on any one of a limited set of personalities. The individual cells are interconnected by a matrix of wires and programmable switches.
