Signal Description

5.9.2 Bus Grant (BG)

This output indicates that the MC68030 will release ownership of the bus master when the
current processor bus cycle completes. Refer to 7.7.2 Bus Grant for more information.

5.9.3 Bus Grant Acknowledge (BGACK)

This input indicates that an external device has become the bus master. Refer to 7.7.3 Bus
Grant Acknowledge for more information.

5.10 BUS EXCEPTION CONTROL SIGNALS

The following signals are the bus exception control signals for the MC68030.

5.10.1 Reset (RESET)

This bidirectional open-drain signal is used to initiate a system reset. An external reset signal
resets the MC68030 as well as all external devices. A reset signal from the processor
(asserted as part of the RESET instruction) resets external devices only; the internal state
of the processor is not altered. Refer to 7.8 Reset Operation for a description of reset bus
operation and 8.1.1 Reset Exception for information about the reset exception.

5.10.2 Halt (HALT)

The halt signal indicates that the processor should suspend bus activity or, when used with
BERR, that the processor should retry the current cycle. Refer to 7.5 Bus Exception
Control Cycles for a description of the effects of HALT on bus operations.

5.10.3 Bus Error (BERR)

The bus error signal indicates that an invalid bus operation is being attempted or, when used
with HALT, that the processor should retry the current cycle. Refer to 7.5 Bus Exception
Control Cycles for a description of the effects of BERR on bus operations.
