17 years ago --- Quote Start --- You cannot directly connect an external device with the Avalon Master. You need to create a Tri-state bridge before you can connect the device to the bus. --- Quote End --- I dont quite follow this. According to the SOPC docs I need a master if I use the SDRAM IP. If this is the only slave why do I need a bridge? I thought that the bridge was to allow for multiple slaves? The docs imply that I can create my own master which is what I have done. The system compiles in SOPC without warning or errors. I have not tested it yet. So are you saying that I need the bridge component between the external micro and my master device?
