Ahh, that makes sense! Thank you.
For a minute there, I thought this was another one of those deja-vu=20
moments where Xilinx published the marketing specs of a product=20
before they had a chance to validate the feature-set on actual
production units (*cough* Virtex-4/FX...)

The 1800ADSP board was tested with the Avnet SystemACE Module
(www.em.avnet.com/systemace). I believe the reason this feature is
commented out in the XBD file is that it is not a standard feature
that ships with the board. However, the end user can enable it by
uncommenting the lines in the XBD.

In Xilinx EDK 9.2.02, when I select the Xilinx Spartan 3A1800 DSP
Starter Kit, the base-system-builder doesn't give me the option of
adding the SystemACE peripheral to the hardware environment.
In a text-editor, I manually examined
./board/Xilinx/boards/Xilinx_S3ADSP1800_RevA/data/Xilinx_S3ADSP1800_RevA_v2_2_0.xbd
The interface and I/O declarations related to the SystemACE peripheral
are commented out...
What's the status of the hardware on the board? Is there a known
problem, or is it just untested?
