I can tell you are pretty frustrated, I was too till I dug around here are a couple of things that might help you out : The reason that you are seeing a slow up in speed is probably because SOPC Builder is looking and validating some components that you have that are considered legacy. If you update your components to follow the tcl flow, your SOPC Builder should actually be significantly faster than it has ever been. Have you noticed that you now have a save button etc ... that's becuase the underlying structure if I understand this correctly has gone from perl to java ... Here is a quick explaaination of the old componet style and what I think the tool is doing, you probably have some componnets that if you look in their directories have ptf extentions. Those need to supported so they must run the perl stuff translate into tcl stuff and then run the underlying java. The perl extra stuff is killing you ... Change your stuff to a tcl based system and you will be flying .... As far as the tip from tech guy, he does not know what he is talking about, SOPC Builder went from a FIAT to a LAMBORGHINI, not ony did they move from PERL to JAVA but they have added a lot to the Avalon switch fabric like all the streaming stuff (which used to be called Atlantic). As far as bugs, what are you seeing maybe I can help you, although I ran into some things that made me scratch my head a couple of times, for the most part I have all my systems working beautfully under 7.1 ... And my advice is go to 7.1 because moving forward everything will be built on that structure. I hope that helped your frustartion, if it hasn't let me know maybe there are more things that I can help with ? sattia
