Question about Monitor

Hello, is it possible to synthesize the "monitors" on the altera fpgas'. There are Monitor IPs such as Avalon MM Monitor. Can I synthesize such "Monitors"?

If PCI-compiler is not availabe in Qsys, why does it show up in the Quartus 11-Mega Function Wizard?. Does it mean it can be added as a custom component in the Qsys?

Qsys and MegaFunctions are separate tools/components. The existence of a MegaWizard component does not mean you can use it with Qsys. The existence of a MegaWizard component with an Avalon interface does not mean it is setup for use with Qsys either, for example, the ALTGX_RECONFIG component has an Avalon interface for its EyeQ port, however, there is no _hw.tcl component, so you have to 'figure it out for yourself'.

If you're having trouble using PCI Compiler, just ignore Qsys for now. Get a simple PCI to memory example working, and then once you are sure you understand how to configure the PCI core correctly, create your own _hw.tcl file for Qsys.

Cheers,
