    Hi,

    it synthesises out-of-the-box in Q2 5.0, given that you add the memories and

    keep the hdl files in correct order (mc8051_p.vhd as topmost etc.)

    Just out of curiosity, why 8051? Are you migrating some old assembler code?

    A comparable NIOS II/e/s system requires less logic resources, runs faster

    and comes with a state-of-the-art IDE and C/C++ compiler.

    Cheers, Roger
