    Subject: [oc] urgent help: related to ACK_I signal of WB compatible CPU
    Top
    Please I need your urgent support, related to ACK_I input of Wishbone bus...

    I ve designed a CPU in vhdl (i am trying to release it with name HPC-16 on OC)
    supporting only single write and single read bus operations. like any
    other WB master,
    it provide slave STB_O and sample the ACK_I on next rising edge.


    -Since the WB is completely synchronous, should give ACK_I directly to
    control unit of
    processor, or pass ACK_I through two stage synchronizer (2 - cascading
    DFF). i just require
    fucntional correctness...

    -suppose if i use synchronizer, and futher suppose for simple
    configuration I simply
    connect STB_O of processor to ACK_I. now control unit will recieve the
    "ack_sync" after
    two clk periods (in zero-delay simulation exactly on 2nd clk period,
    in cpu rtl code i donot
    inserted "after <delay-time>").
    just like WB master, control unit after getting ACK_I immediately
    deassert the STB_O and continue
    its work (internal operation or next read/write operation) and *donot*
    wait for "ack_sync" = 0.
    at this point should control-unit asynchronously reset the
    synchronizer as well? and/or
    should control-unit wait until "ack_sync" become 0, for next read/write cycle?
