opencores ip

piece-of-cheese,

I have been using several opencores projects. And for the most part,

I've been quite pleased. In general, there are two types of interfaces

you'll find: (1) wishbone, (2) generic ... neither of which will provide

any ptf (or avalon support for that matter). You'll have to add the

blocks to your system via an interface to user logic.

WRT wishbone: I tried a few times to replace the wishbone interface with

an avalon interface ... and eventually decided it was quicker (and more

maintainable) to just insert a wishbone-to-avalon bridge.

If it's generic (e.g. like the crypto cores for example), you can just

write your own avalon wrapper.

Regards,
