Re: [partial-reconfig] "Modularization" of Microblaze flow

Dimitris-

Yeah-- we've considered the idea of routing the external pins out
of the reconfigurable module but to do so requires a lot of bus
macros.  Since there are a limited number of tbuf's ... I'm concerned
we'll run out of I/O that spans the reconfigurable and static modules.
That's next week's issue.  Right now we are just trying to get a static
configuration with BM4's added to an EDK-generated design.  The BM4's
have to go at the top level and we're running into synthesis errors.
It's probably a tool flow issue ... we're digging through the makefiles.

Have you gotten a static design with BM4's yet?  Has anyone?
