[sdiy] Re: I've seen the future of DIY -> C compiler for Xilinx core

[peff 2cv]

Hi

Actually the C compiler issue is already on it's way to a solution. I 
implemented a PicoBlaze (8-bit) core in a project last week and it is so 
cool!

The Picolaze forum on the xilinx website has a couple message regarding 
people working on C compilers for that core.They are betas, based on lex and 
yacc but exciting nonetheless. Mediatronix has a great IDE and simulator for 
PicoBlaze too. http://www.mediatronix.com/pBlazeIDE.htm
