MicroBlaze Programmer (JavaFX Tool)

A JavaFX desktop application that simplifies programming for Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processors by providing a graphical interface to Xilinx command-line tools (data2mem and promgen).

The tool helps combine .elf, .bmm, and .bit files into a final FPGA bitstream and optionally generate PROM files.
