New Component Editor...

Can someone tell where to find Documentation on the New Component Editor? It's the new way to add custom peripherals, but is not mentioned in the Jan 2005 "Hardware Development Tutorial" or...

Ok, the added New Components can be editted/reedited by right-clicking on the new component in the User Logic section. Fine.

But here are some bugs I believe. (might be user error)

Odd Behavior 1 - Missing IRQ:

My Component has a signal of type irq_n, but the signal was not surfaced in the .bdf. In looking at the .ptf, the IRQ signal is clearly in the port list. BUT, the setting Has_IRQ is set to "0". My guess is that Has_IRQ should be "1" if a signal of type irq or irq_n are present. (?)

Odd Behavior 2 - Improper Timing Units:

The unit are selected as ns in the Wizard, but come out as cycles.

I would appreciate some guidance on Bug 1, as I&#39;m not sure simply editting the Has_IRQ is a enough. I see in my old working system.ptf that there is more IRQ stuff when Has_IRQ is "1".

Thanks,

Ken
