"FIFO Interface" component support

Here's the place to talk about the FIFO interface component that I just posted. Fire away!

Hi Mike,

I haven't installed your IP yet, but after reading your post I had the silly question of how is your component better than just using a lpm_fifo?

I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just wanting to learn. I hooked up an lpm_fifo with IUL and IRQ on almost_full, and want to know what that approach lacks. It seemed to work pretty well.

I've had trouble achieving 100% on both Streaming DMA and driving a Master Port. Would your component be a good buffer for either of these to avoid that 1% loss?

Thanks,

Ken
