Thanks to all! i did find the source code in www.picoblaze.com as Ken Chapman's code. The old EDIF's are not reproducable for the V4 because of the architecture changes from V2 to V4. The souce code solves these issues. -Andrew

see Ken Chapman's old post pointing to the VHDL equivalent of the XAPP223 UARTS, which can be found in the Picoblaze sources: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.arch.fpga/msg/0d3017a2beb810fd Brian

Try to edit the EDIF, change the part in the edif with virtex4, and give 
it a try, it should retarget.

Did you try generating same for Virtex-4 in Xilinx CoreGen?

Hi,

I've been using the uart_tx and uart_rx core EDIF's provided by Xilinx in 
xapp223. These are great for my Virtex-II development, and they obviously 
don't work for the Virtex-4. I like the simplicity of these cores and want 
to change as little of my old code as possible. Does anyone know/have a 
free/$ replacement to these EDIF's that work for the Virtex-4?
