ABSTRACT:
A communication system includes a processor, memory circuits and a plurality of interfaces for interfacing to data devices. The processor services the interfaces using an interrupt bus including unidirectional inbound and outbound buses. The inbound bus includes one lead for each interface, with each lead having a fixed priority level assigned by the processor. Each interface has access to all leads of the inbound bus. The processor sends commands over the outbound bus to dynamically control the connection of an interface to a lead of the inbound bus.
