2.8.7. Broadcast Mode
Broadcast mode allows the SerialLite II IP core to use a single shared transmitter and multiple receivers in the master device.
The number of receivers is determined by the number of lanes chosen for the slave receiver. The master transmitter uses its output lanes to broadcast identical messages to all slave receivers, and each slave responds individually by sharing the master's lanes.
