Thanks a lot for your reply. What concerns my app here is the deal: i
want to use the hdlc IP & especially the RX part, 8 channels totally.
Finally i want to interface it to a ARM uC. Xilinx & Altera has
something relevant to that. If you could recommend me, as well, a free
cpld or fpga programmer which programs the device containing the IP
implementation I would have the perfect situation (since i would not
have to purchase a dev or eval kit from a certain vendor).
Once again thank you for any further reply
