SimpCon is JOPs main interconnect to memory and IO.

SimpCon is way more efficient than Wishbone. That's the reason for
SimpCon. You can change JOP to directly use Wishbone or simpler
use the SimpCon/Wishbone bridge. There is no performance gain
when using Wishbone directly. Using the bridge version keeps you
compatible to future updates/enhancements of the memory subsystem
in JOP.
