== 1) Functional Description ==

This hardware component is a PIBUS controller. It can be used in conjunction with the 
[wiki:Component/VciPiInitiatorWrapper VciPiInitiatorWrapper] and the 
[wiki:Component/VciPiTargetWrapper VciPiInitiatorWrapper] to build a system using a PIBus interconnect.

The tree basic functionalities ot the BCU are :
 * arbitration between simultaneous initiator requests.
 * selection of the adressed target, by decoding the MSB address bits.
 * time-out, when the selected target does not complete the transaction.
The  main features are the following :
 * The default master mechanism is not supported.
 * The supported PIBUS response codes are  PI_ACK_RDY, PI_ACK_WAT, and PI_ACK_ERR.
 * The arbitration policy between initiators is round-robin.
 * This component uses the [wiki:Component/MappingTable mapping table] to build the ROM that decodes the address MSB bits and give  the target index used to activate the proper p_sel[i] signal.
 * The COUNT_REQ[i] register counts the total number of transactions for initiator i.
 * The COUNT_WAIT[i] register counts the total number of wait cycles for initiator i.
