Thanks... but... I keep on misunderstanding.

The guide I mentioned says that each component has to have a *_sw.tcl script (generated by SOPC). However, the script I have is *_hw.tcl.

The question would be, how can I generate the _sw.tcl script??

Thanks a lot again!!!

PS: Is my English not much clear?? Just in case, my apologies for that.
