<h1>WisboneTK</h1>

<h2>WishboneTK two-way arbiter</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>

<strong>WishboneTK two-way arbiter</strong> connectrs two master devices to a set of shared slave devies. From the master devices point

of view the shared peripherials will look like a single slave inserted into their local slave's chain. From the shared slaves point of

view the arbiter will act as a master device on behalf of the two real masters. The core is 100% Wishbone compatible

with the <a href="wb_extensions.shtml">WishboneTK extensions</a>. Address select and data buses should be multiplexed to the

common interface externaly but handshake signals are handled by the core. Multiplexer control signals are also provided. The core

is asyncronous to support zero-wait-state operation on the shared bus. Thus the CLK_I signal, required for most Wishbone devies

is not used.
