Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- An example would be great, or if that's too much trouble a set of instructions would suffice as well. --- Quote End --- Ok. I have a tutorial that I've just about finished. I'll post it next week. --- Quote Start --- I haven't been able to find the webinar you mentioned. --- Quote End --- Look for the SystemConsole webinar. --- Quote Start --- How do I access/incorporate the Avalon-MM commands (I'm not sure what Tcl is)? --- Quote End --- Tcl is a scripting language = Tool Command Language. Quartus has a built in Tcl interpreter, as does Modelsim, and lots of the other EDA tools. --- Quote Start --- This may sound like a silly question, but would this be from Quartus or the Nios IDE? I tried browsing through the available files generated by SOPC Builder but couldn't find any. --- Quote End --- SystemConsole is a Tcl GUI, you would use that for the Avalon-MM master commands. --- Quote Start --- Most of the resources online consisted of PDFs with high level design explanations. Perhaps I'm not utilizing the altera website to its fullest potential and the information is readily available. I am a novice so excuse my ineptitude. --- Quote End --- There's definitely a lot of documentation; some good, some bad. You just have to grind through it and find the good stuff :) Cheers, Dave
