【発明の名称】データ処理システムにおける通信バス制御装置およびバス制御方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3284311
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A data processing sytem (10) having a direct memory access controller (DMAC) (12) which can be interrupted with a priortized signal to vary bus mastership of a communication bus (14) in the system. A prioritized interrupt signal is sent to a CPU (11) when the DMAC has bus mastership. The CPU only informs the DMAC of the highest priority cumulative interrupt priority. With the use of a mask value, the interrupt may be selectively screened by the DMAC so that selective interrupts may remove bus mastership from the DMAC.
