Reply To: Request for estimated release window of Avalon MM

[Jim Lewis]

Hi Marvin,
What Avalon MM capability are you looking for? Basic access is easy – registers. The curious and clever pipelining modes looked challenging when I looked at the interface. If you could enumerate what you need, it may break it loose.

Currently I am tied up working on Questa scripts due to their decision to make numerous non-backward compatible changes and have different variants in different tool versions (Questa Classic vs QuestaOne). I think I will wrap up on that shortly.

If you would like Avalon MM prioritized, you could fund its development. Part of my concern is investing in an interface that Altera is gradually replacing with AXI – I was actually expecting them to do that more quickly.

Best Regards,
Jim
