If multiple bus privilege requests are made simultaneously by the PCI devices, the bus privilege is
grated in the predetermined order of priority. There are two orders of priority: fixed, and pseudo
round robin. The mode is selected by setting the bus master arbitration mode control bit (BMABT)
of the PCI control register (PCICR).
Priority-fixed mode (BMABT = 0)
In priority-fixed mode, the priority order of bus privilege requests is fixed and cannot be
changed. The order is as follows:
PCIC (device 0) > device 1 > device 2 > device 3 > device 4
That is, the PCIC has the highest order of priority and device 4 has the lowest. When bus
privilege requests occur simultaneously, the device with the highest order of priority takes
precedence. Here, device 1 is the PCI device using bus privilege request pins
and
, device 2 uses and , device 3 uses and ,
and device 4 uses
and . When the PCIC is operating as the host device, no
bus privilege request signals are output from the PCIC to the PCI bus arbitration circuit.
Pseudo round-robin mode (BMABT = 1)
In pseudo round-robin mode, when a device takes the bus privilege, the priority order of that
device becomes lowest.
In the initial state, the priority order is set to the same as in the fixed mode. Here, device 1
outputs a bus privilege request, after which the priority order changes to …
PCIC > device 2 > device 3 > device 4 > device 1.
If the PCIC then outputs a bus privilege request and takes the bus privilege, the priority order
changes to …
Device 2 > device 3 > device 4 > device 1 > PCIC.
Likewise, if device 3 outputs a bus privilege request and takes the bus privilege, the priority
order becomes …
Device 2 > device 4 > device 1 > PCIC > device 3.
In this way, the priority order of the master device that takes the bus privilege always changes
to lowest after the data transfer is completed.
