no SystemACE on Xilinx Spartan 3A 1800 DSP in EDK 9.2.02

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?

The 1800ADSP board was tested with the Avnet SystemACE Module

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.

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...)
