Abstract

This paper presents a customized application in term of LCD interfacing through soft-core microcontroller by implementing its control circuitry in FPGA. Therefore optimum efficiency is achieved. This provide the single chip solution by replacing conventional model which contain separate microcontroller circuit, therefore the efficient resource utilization of FPGA is made, day by day as an increase in the complexity of Embedded system design thus gives many advantages over conventional designed processors such as platform independence, less cost, flexibility and greater immunity to obsolescence.
