Avalon MM slave and interrupt

Hi folks, 

I have written an Avalon Slave peripheral to interface to an FTDI chip. I this peripheral I have inlcuded an IRQ signal that is driven from the FTDI chip. However when I add this peripheral to Qysys and make all the necessary connections (including setting an IRQ number) I get some warnings and errors on generation. Namely that the irq sender is not connected to a receiver, but yet in the messages box at the bottom of Qsys it says 0 errors, 0 warnings.

I have included the warnings and errors I get on generation above. 

 

Can anybody give me an idea of where I am going wrong? 

Many thanks

Could you include your hw.tcl for your Avalon Slave? I want to take a quick look if you don't mind.

I have attached the tcl file (renamed as .txt as the uploader complained at me!!). 

 

Many thanks for taking the time to have alook for me.

For starters, is the add fileset file and path correct?: 

 

add_fileset QUARTUS_SYNTH QUARTUS_SYNTH "" "" 

set_fileset_property QUARTUS_SYNTH TOP_LEVEL FT245_Avalon_Interface_RW 

set_fileset_property QUARTUS_SYNTH ENABLE_RELATIVE_INCLUDE_PATHS false 

add_fileset_file "FT245_avalon_interface RW.vhd" VHDL PATH "../Avalon/FT245_avalon_interface RW.vhd" TOP_LEVEL_FILE 

 

Probably you may want to rename for consistency.
