Hello Wishbone-Experts,

I suppose, that there is a proper WBC way of giving WB slaves the opportunity to initiate bus cycles. Is there any other possibility except for using Tags? When using tags, the TGD_I() tag type would be the best choice, right?

Sorry about asking - for you - self-explaining things, I only want to make shure to get on the proper road.

Regards and thanks in advance,
Simon

Slaves don't initiate anything. Thats why they are slaves. If your component needs to initiate then you can use an IRQ to tell a master that service is needed or you can create a seperate wishbone master bus and let that do the work.

ok, my fault. so: I want the slaves to tell the master to initiate the bus.

And it would be wishbone compliant if I just add an IRQ input to my master? How does the master "know" who sent the IRQ?
