It means it is writte= n in VHDL/Verilog or in different hardware description language. >> macb driver can be used by Microblaze too. >=20 > Thanks for the information.

I am not sure if there is any AXI bridge for openrisc. IMHO you should just add COMPILE_TEST and do not try to extend that list of dependencies. Thanks, Michal --=20 Michal Simek, Ing.
