Understanding On-Chip Bus Protocols: A Deep Dive into APB

Understanding On-Chip Bus Protocols: A Deep Dive into APB

Previously, we discussed the on-chip interconnect bus, but having just the bus is not enough; we also need on-chip bus protocol support. Only with the protocol can we operate the registers accurately. When it comes to on-chip bus protocols, there are many, such as the AMBA bus used by ARM, the Wishbone bus by Silicore, … Read more
