AMBA 3 APB
==========
AMBA APB
========
Both APB3 and APB4 standards are supported.
.. warning::
Some IP vendors will incorrectly implement the address signalling
assuming word-addresses. (that each increment of ``PADDR`` is the next word)
For this exporter, values on the interface's ``PADDR`` input are interpreted
as byte-addresses. (an APB interface with 32-bit wide data increments
``PADDR`` in steps of 4 for every word). Even though APB protocol does not
allow for unaligned transfers, this is in accordance to the official AMBA
specification.
Be sure to double-check the interpretation of your interconnect IP. A simple
bit-shift operation can be used to correct this if necessary.

The APB4 CPU interface comes in two i/o port flavors:
SystemVerilog Interface
Class: :class:`peakrdl_regblock.cpuif.apb4.APB4_Cpuif`
Interface Definition: :download:`apb4_intf.sv <../../tests/lib/cpuifs/apb4/apb4_intf.sv>`
Flattened inputs/outputs
Flattens the interface into discrete input and output ports.
