Abstract
A method and apparatus store a command in a command register and set, with a control circuit, a first operation mode associated with a split transaction for freeing a bus in a time period between a command transfer request and a command transfer operation. The method and apparatus set, with the control circuit, a second operation mode in which a split transaction is not issued and transfer, with the control circuit, the command to a processing unit via the bus in response to the command transfer request when in the second operation mode where after the processing unit executes the command and issues a subsequent command transfer request to the control circuit, the control circuit performs the split transaction when in the first and second operation modes.
