Method for bus access for data transmission through a multiprocessor bus

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for accessing a multiprocessor data bus between integrated function blocks for bidirectional data exchange, which is operated in time-multiplex by means of a pulse frame synchronizing signal, which includes fixedly positioned within the pulse frame a first timing channel carrying bus access control information and a second timing channel carrying data and address information, which comprises: checking by the, function block seeking to access to the bus the bus for presence, of control information in the first timing channel; checking next in case the bus has no control information in the first timing channel, the function block for presence of a first priority condition; placing …
