that&#39;s a good patch system, i didn&#39;t know you had set it up that way - could i get the patch set for .14 and .16?

when i noticed the dd issue, i was using a avalon system with pipelining enabled. when i addeda dma component to the system, it locked everything up when i would try and access certain registers. it&#39;s definitely an avalon bug, and i have my fae looking into it. anyway, i&#39;m not using pipelining now, so i&#39;m seeing if it makes a difference with this issue.
