PicoBlaze is a very small processor core designed for Xilinx FPGAs. It is intended to work as an advanced state machine for controlling IO inside an FPGA.

It has been reimplemented in generic VHDL as PacoBlaze. This implementation doesn't use any Xilinx-specific libraries. It is very configurable, but remains software and cycle timing compatible with the original implementation.

PicoBlaze is seen as the little brother of MicroBlaze.
