Re: [pci] PCI Help



Hi Hans,

bbeaver@opencores.org is author of behavioral models. However these are
still development version and he probably needs help with verification
of these models.

And at least two other developers are working on PCI synthesizable.
Tadej and Miha will give you more details about PCI synthesizable core.
They need help as well.

regards,
Damjan
