Adac,

Can't comment on your Microtronix question, but Wishone 2 Avalon is EASY!... slaves can be hooked up using the interface to user-logic wizard in SOPC Builder (take a quick look at the wishbone spec and avalon and you'll see what I mean; there is a 1:1 mapping for most signals). Masters may require a bit (couple lines of HDL) of logic to get things talking. I'll spare the deatil for now; a consultant friend and I ported the 10/100 ethernet MAC core from opencores to work with Nios a couple years ago. I'll try to dust it off and post it in the other forum for sharing IP in a day or two. Its a great example as it has both master and slave ports.
