Figure 13-2 EBU Block Diagram
The EBU takes PLMB transactions and translates them into the appropriate external
access(es). Two dedicated state machines control either asynchronous external
accesses or Burst Mode external accesses. The EBU further contains blocks that control
the external bus arbitration, the region selection, as well as the data and address paths.
