Glad you like it.

No, not yet, although I wouldn't expect any major issues.  It's a fairly 
simple character style device.

Not yet, there's been some talk about Xilinx setting up a Git server to 
host MicroBlaze and PPC development, but no sign of it yet.  PetaLogix 
could host a tree, I just haven't taken the time to learn Git yet.

I've given some thought to opening up our internal development tree (we 
use SVN), but there are a few things still to be resolved before I can 
do that.

Regards,

John
