protocols. These are described in more detail in the pages that follow.
Bus Width
^^^^^^^^^
The CPU interface bus width is automatically determined from the contents of the
design being exported. The bus width is equal to the widest ``accesswidth``
encountered in the deisgn.
Addressing

Unaligned Registers
-------------------
All address offsets & strides shall be a multiple of the regwidth used. Specifically:
All address offsets & strides shall be a multiple of the accesswidth used. Specifically:
* Each register's address and array stride shall be aligned to it's regwidth.
* Each regfile or addrmap shall use an offset and stride that is a multiple of the largest regwidth it encloses.
* Each register's address and array stride shall be aligned to it's accesswidth.
* Each regfile or addrmap shall use an offset and stride that is a multiple of the largest accesswidth it encloses.

* All registers shall have ``regwidth`` == ``accesswidth``
* ``regwidth`` shall be the same across all registers within the block being exported.
* The CPU interface's bus width is statically determined by the ``regwidth`` used.
I have plans to remove these restrictions and allow for more flexibility in the future.
