Jake and Kevin,

I appreciate the quick and detailed replies.

I understand that FSL and Avalon shouldn't be directly compared, but they were similiar enough such that we were able to create a simple and small hardware translation layer such that a Nios II can talk to FSL peripherals.

I am tasked with creating the software to translate from the Xilinx calls to Avalon peripheral access calls. This seems pretty trivial but I will have to do some translation of addresses since they are certainly not the same for the two processors.
