Base address of SOPC components - exportable?

When a CPU master needs to access a slave device, the software# include's "system.h" which contains all the system addresses. Is there an equivalent for custom avalon masters written in VHDL? ...

You may be able to do that with a TCL script, but usually the way this is done is by having the CPU configure the component at run time.

You can have both an Avalon master and an Avalon slave on your component, and have a few registers accessible from the slave that define the addresses to use on the master.
