Interrupt assignment

Within SOPC Builder, I generated two new components from my VHDL codes that had all the necessary signals tied to the Avalon bus. There are 5 interrupts that are tied to the Avalon bus for one compo...

It doesn't sound like you're using the component editor/builder to create your new component(s). You should give it a try.

Also, I'm not sure that Avalon supports connecting a _bus_ of interrupts. What you can do is connect a single "irq" signal to Avalon and then create a status register, containing information about which device (external or internal) caused the interrupt. If that won't work, for you, you should consider a different design architecture....perhaps, splitting it up into smaller components?

Best of luck!
