Wishbone Bus Protocol: Signals, ACK, Pipelining, and VHDL
Learn the Wishbone bus protocol, its master-slave signals and ACK handshake, pipelined transfers, VHDL implementation, and differences from AXI.
Wishbone connects a master to registers or memory with relatively few signals. The open specification published by OpenCores describes synchronous single and block transfers, plus pipelining in revision B4.
