Abstract
This FPGA implementation is combination of Pico-Blaze and peripherals. It is mainly used in monitoring applications. Pico-Blaze is soft core microprocessor developed by Xilinx that can be synthesized in FPGA families. This paper presents a set of peripherals that have been developed to interface with PicoBlaze: serial communication, PS/2 keyboard port and LCD control. To demonstrate its capabilities, the system has been implemented in a FPGA board and some typical control and monitoring systems have been developed. The design approach of the peripherals and details of the integration of the systems are explained.
