MC68360 USER’S MANUAL
IMB bus masters request bus ownership on a per-cycle basis. Thus, on each bus cycle, the
IMB is given to the highest priority bus master requesting the bus. External bus masters may
also request the bus and obtain priority over the internal bus masters.
In addition, on the QUICC, interrupts may take priority over bus masters. Thus, another con-
dition for the IDMA to obtain the bus is for the interrupt service level on the IMB to be less
than or equal to the interrupt service mask (ISM bits) in the ICCR.
If the CPU32+ is enabled, the IDMA bus arbitration sequence is like that shown in Figure 7-
12. The BR, BG, and BGACK signals are not affected during the arbitration sequence. The
only external indication of an IDMA bus request is the bus clear out (BCLRO) pin. BCLRO
is only available externally if programmed in the SIM60 port E pin assignment register. Addi-
tionally, BCLRO is only asserted if the IDMA ID for that channel is greater than the value
programmed into the BCLROID2-BCLROID0 bits in the SIM60 module configuration regis-
ter. BCLRO can be used to clear off an external bus master from the external bus, if desired.
For instance, BCLRO can be connected through logic to the external master’s HALT signal,
and then negated externally when the external master’s AS signal is negated. BCLRO is
negated during S2 of the final IDMA bus cycle before it relinquishes the bus.

NOTES:
1. The BCLRO signal is only asserted if the IDMA bus arbitration ID is greater than
the BCLROID2–BCLROID0 bits in the SIM60 module configuration register.
2. Note that the BR, BG, and BGACK signals are not affected by the IDMA bus arbi-
tration process if the CPU32+ is enabled.
