AXI4-Lite
The AXI4-Lite interface is a subset of the AXI4 interface intended for
communication with control registers in components
The aim of AXI4-Lite is to allow simple component interfaces to be built that
are smaller and also require less design and validation effort
Having a defined subset of the full AXI4 interface allows many different
components to be built using the same subset and also allows a single
common conversion component to be used to move between AXI4 and AXI4Lite interfaces
