ABSTRACT:
A method of performing contiguous write transactions on a processor bus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes detecting, by a bus agent, a request for a write cycle, asserting, by the bus agent, a target ready signal for one clock cycle in response to the write cycle during a first clock cycle of a data transfer phase of a prior write cycle or during a second clock cycle of a data transfer phase of a prior read cycle, asserting, by the bus agent, response signals in a next clock cycle following the clock cycle in which the target ready signal is asserted, asserting, by a processor, a data busy signal for the write cycle in the next clock cycle following the clock cycle in which the response signals are asserted, and asserting, by the processor, data for the write cycle when the data busy signal is asserted.
