PC <-> S530Dev. Bd. Reg R/W interface?

Hi Dave - well, I got everything working 8-}. It's been an interesting experience - thanks for your help. So right now I have a somewhat "generic" QSYS output that I can simply modify as my design changes without using QSYS, since the changes will all be in the slave logic. I think it was worthwhile to go through the experience, but unless I'm building the types if things you describe (typically not - we do primarily signal processing), might not crack Qsys again for a while. Thanks for the thoughts.

BTW: I spent a few hours with the system console dashboard widgets today. They're not all that pretty (or well documented), and also seem somewhat buggy (i filed a ticket because the "timechart" sometimes doesn't update until long after the script completes"). We NEED something like this to do pretty demos for our customers. Is there a step up from this interface without going all the way to LabView?

Again - thanks for all your kind help. The Jumpstart was appreciated 8-}
