Abstract
A bus interface control system and method includes an on-demand bus master interface for independently requesting multistream data from host memory without interrupting processing of the host processor between independent requests for data packets. A plurality of digital signal processors share the host bus and utilize flexible data speed transfer depending upon demand of real time data that must be transferred from host memory. The master interface control system includes an packet by packet arbitor to facilitate maximum throughput of data on-demand by the plurality of processing unit.
