@gummadi Teja,

An FPGA is a very different structure from either a microprocessor or a microcontroller.  An FPGA is like programmable hardware.  A microprocessor is a CPU.  An FPGA can become a CPU (albeit not a very fast one), but a CPU can never become an FPGA.

I found this video valuable when trying to describe what an FPGA is.

Hi @gummadi Teja,

Based on your previous posts you have a Nexys 4. We have an older basic tutorial on using the Microblaze processor.  If it is a Nexys 4 DDR then here is a Nexys 4 DDR - Getting Started with Microblaze and if it is the Nexys 4 then it is the Nexys 4 - Getting Started with Microblaze. Here is the MicroBlaze Processor Reference Guide. The digilent board files (tutorial on installing here) correctly configure the microblaze processor 

best regards,

Jon
