I am currently working on the development of an APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus) VIP with a Single Master and Multiple Slaves. I have a query regarding how the interconnect determines which slave to select when the master communicates with a specific slave. Specifically:
Slave Selection Mechanism:
PSEL
PSEL[1:0]
0-1023
1024-2047
Interconnect and Slave Behavior:
How does the interconnect handle decoding and routing to the appropriate slave?
Additionally, how should the slave behave in such a system, particularly with respect to decoding and responding to transactions?
Could you provide a detailed explanation of the overall flow of communication in such a Single Master to Multiple Slaves APB system?
Also,does APB have any boundary limitations, similar to the 4KB boundary size constraint in AXI?
