that sounds great!

it looks like we will have several different fpga configs(m5i20-step/dir 
m5i20-pwm/dir) for the m5i20 in the future, maybe separate directories 
in cvs should be setup ?

I'd be interested in testing a 66MHz/1024 hostmot-4 configuration, but I 
don't know how to change the vhdl or compile the fpga code.
Basically I just do 'loadrt hal_m5i20 loadFpga=1', so I would need help 
to get to this point, after that I can do the testing with some HAL 
coding and a scope.
