I2C Slave

Description

i2cSlave is a minimalist I2C slave IP core that provides the basic framework for the implementation of custom I2C slave devices. The core provides a means to read and write up to 256 8-bit registers. These registers can be connected to the users custom logic, thus implementing a simple control and status interface.

A full Icarus Verilog test bench is available.

Test it for yourself, using the free Icarus Verilog simulator and the free GTKWave wave form viewer. Only 6 simple steps!
- Download and install Icarus Verilog.
- Download and install GTKWave.
- Download the project files.
- Execute sim/build_icarus.bat and sim/run_icarus.bat
- Execute sim/viewWave.bat and check out the results.
- In GTKWave, use "Search >> Signal Search Tree" to view more waves.
