Subject: [oc] Wishbone in UART16550
Hello, I'm using the UART16550 core and there is something related to the implementation of wishbone that I disagree with. Under uart_top.v are 2 modules: uart_regs.v and uart_wb.v. Wishbone control signals are only provided to uart_wb.v and uart_regs.v receive address and data buses. I'm upsetted with the fact that uart_regs.v doesn't receive the strobe signal. Thus this module drives the output data bus even if the master isn't talking to it (strobe not asserted for this slave). I know that the wb_dat_i input of the master is a muxtiplexing of the wb_dat_o of all slave so it doesn't disturb when a slave drives its wb_dat_o whereas the master is talking to an other slave. However, I think it would be better that wishbone's slaves doesn't have any activity as long as they are not addressed.
As I'm a new Wishbone user, I may be wrong. What are Wishbone Wizards thinking about my opinion ? Regards, Fran6 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: attachment.htm
