Hi,

I've used the PLDA master/target PCI core in a Nios Cyclone design.

Their support via e-mail is very good.

They also offer a free reference design (VHDL) for a PCI/Avalon bridge.

From personal experience I would not recommend using this reference

design, mostly because it is based on an older version of their PCI core

which is not i/o compatible with later versions.
