+Bus Group File (.xml)
+=====================
+
+The bus group file aims to show 
+
+- How bus ports are flatten by EDA engines, e.g., synthesis.
+- What are the pins in post-routing corresponding to the bus ports before synthesis
+
+An example of file is shown as follows.
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+  <bus_groups>
+    <bus name="i_addr" lsb="0" msb="3">
+      <pin id="0" name="i_addr_0_"/>
+      <pin id="1" name="i_addr_1_"/>
+      <pin id="2" name="i_addr_2_"/>
+      <pin id="3" name="i_addr_3_"/>
+    </bus>
+  </bus_groups>
+
+Bus-related Syntax
+------------------
+
+.. option:: name="<string>"
+
+  The bus port name defined before synthesis.
+
+.. option:: lsb="<int>"
+
+  The *Least Significant Bit* (LSB) of the bus
+
+.. option:: msb="<int>"
+
+  The *Most Significant Bit* (MSB) of the bus
+
+Pin-related Syntax
+------------------
+
+.. option:: id="<int>"
+
+  The index of the current pin in a bus port. The index must be the range of **[LSB, MSB-1]** that are defined in the bus.
+
+.. option:: name="<string>"
+
+  The pin name after bus flatten in synthesis results
