BUS CYCLE PRIORITIES
The BIU arbitrates requests for bus cycles from the Execution Unit, the integrated peripherals
(e.g., Interrupt Control Unit) and external bus masters (i.e., bus hold requests). The list below
summarizes the priorities for all bus cycle requests (from highest to lowest).
1.
Instruction execution read/write following a non-pipelined effective address calculation.
2.
Refresh bus cycles.
3.
Bus hold request.
4.
Single step interrupt vectoring sequence.
5.
Non-Maskable interrupt vectoring sequence.
