PibusBcu Functional Description

This hardware component is a PIBUS controller. The tree basic functionalities 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 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.
