12.4.2.10 Bus Operation in External Master Mode
External master mode enables an external master to access the internal address space of the MCU.
shows how to connect an MCU to an external master (a second MCU) and a shared SDR
memory to operate in external master mode. Full multi-master support is available.
Figure 12-38. MCU Connected to External Master and SDR Memory
When the external master requires external bus accesses, it takes ownership on the external bus, and the
direction of most of the bus signals is inverted, relative to its direction when the MCU owns the bus.
To operate two masters in external master mode, one must be configured for internal arbitration and the
other must be configured for external arbitration. Connecting three or more masters together in the same
system is not supported by this EBI.
