Description

ABSTRACT:
In a computer system, a device is inserted to and disconnected from a synchronous bus without stopping the entire system. A timing generator generates timing to issue a bus termination/start command. A bus control table manage correspondence between the requests and the replies. For logical termination, the timing generator waits until the bus control table becomes empty. A bus arbitor has an arbitration pointer which stores the highest priority. A bus operation controller clears the arbitration pointer when the insertion or disconnection occurs.
