I'm actually the author... and I've seen some examples of it being in
use :) None of them was actually small...

But it does present you a well documented wishbone interface without
bells an whistles, not even burst transfers. I've had a positive
feedback from someone using it on a Spartan-3E 1600 Starterkit without
any tuning or twiddleing...

The biggest obstacle shows up when you change the operating frequency
and need to readjust the phase-shift between the reading and sending
side: it does not auto-calibrate :(
