FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

TileLink2 APB Bridge Core: Acts as the main conversion logic that translates TileLink transactions into APB protocol transactions. It manages address, control, and data signal mapping and ensures proper timing and handshake between the two protocols.

TileLink Slave Interface: Receives TileLink protocol requests such as read and write transactions from the TileLink master. It decodes the incoming TileLink signals and forwards the transaction information to the bridge core for further processing.

APB Master Interface: Generates APB compliant signals such as PADDR, PWRITE, PSEL, PENABLE, and PWDATA based on the converted TileLink request. It communicates with APB slave peripherals and returns response data back through thebridge to the TileLink side.
