Re: [microblaze-uclinux] How can I send data from a C program running on mb/uClinux to a VHDL program on the FPGA?

["nuno pinto" <nunomp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jonathan, I found out that our projects have something in common. Here we are using a Spartan 3e + mb + uClinux to build a system for Network Intrusion Detection, using hardware accelleration for the detection rules. Your site will probably be a great help.

FSL is a very easy to use (and powerful) interface.  I built a AES
accelerator pretty quickly using the XUP board.  Some of the
documentation is still online at:

http://seniorproject.iidx.net

Contact me offline if you need help with other items of the FSL
connectivity.
