EDK and LMB peripherals...

[Antonio Di Stefano]

Hi all,
I wonder if (using the Xilinx EDK 6.1) is it possible to
create custom IP peripherals that employs the LMB bus
instead of the OPB. The LMB bus has many limitations, but it
is "cheaper" than OPB, and it would be useful to connect
simple peripherals to it.

T.I.A.

FSL (Fast Simplex Links) is even cheaper - and probably much better
suited to what you might have in mind.

Yes, it is a good solutions in many cases,
but it is not as generic as a shared bus could be...
