14 years agoCan CPU win arbitration during DMA operation to the same data bus?
Hi all I am using the SOPC builder for my NIOS II system design. I am having the 1Mx16 SSRAM and the 4Gb Nand Flash both sitting on the same data bus. The SSRAM is for NIOS II cpu instruct...

The Qsys fabric Master1 access Slave1 while Master2 accesses Slave2 without contention. What I wrote below only applies when two or more masters try to access the same slave. ------------------ The CPU will given access. The arbitration scheme uses a fairness scheme. By default, it gives each master one access, round robin. If needed, you can change the weights in Qsys. Check Qsys interconnect handbook, 7-10.
