Abstract
A method for operating a bus system, in particular in a microprocessor or microcontroller, and a semiconductor device for performing the method is disclosed. In one embodiment, for optimizing the order of accesses to the bus system, a method for operating a bus system includes at least one transmission channel, wherein the transmission channel connects at least two masters and at least one slave with one another. The masters are connected with an arbiter determining the order of accesses in which the masters access the transmission channel. The method provides that the arbiter takes into account meta information about planned accesses when determining the order of accesses. Meta information can further be stored and be referred to for subsequent determinations.
