Question

Assume that one 16-bit and two 8-bit microprocessors are to be interfaced to a system bus. The following details are given:

1. All microprocessors have the hardware features necessary for any type of data transfer: programmed I/O, interrupt-driven I/O, and DMA.

2. All microprocessors have a 16-bit address bus.

3. Two memory boards, each of 64-Kbytes capacity, are interfaced with the bus. The designer wishes to use a shared memory that is as large as possible.

4. The system bus supports a maximum of four interrupt lines and one DMA line. Make any other assumptions necessary, and

a. Give the system bus specifications in terms of number and types of lines. [6]
