Thank you!
As my work is for an academic project, I will analize both
alternatives and compare them, but I will probably use FSL as we
don't have much budget to buy IP.
Thanks again,

work at all.
Good Luck. You can do it.
I thought of making the C application to write data in specific
memory adresses and the VHDL could read from them...
It doesn't sounds as a good idea.
Maybe you can use microblaze and. Connect your hardware (written in
VHDL) to microblaze using OPB bus or FSL Link (Fast Simples Link)
available in microblaze.
If you decide for using OPB (it's shared and slow compared to
FSL), you can thinking about using IPIF (intelectual property
interface) core for facilitating the vhdl development of your core.
If you decide for using FSL (it's rapid and dedicated link), i
suggest you reading the xapp529:
