PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give a bus use right to a master having a highest priority for transfer requests from a plurality of masters, on a plurality of buses. SOLUTION: A first bus arbitration device for arbitrating the right to use a first bus permits access to a second bus via a bridge in response to a first transfer request for a bridge connecting the first bus and the second bus from a master linked to the first bus. If there is a second transfer request with a higher priority than the first transfer request from another master linked to the first bus, while a second bus arbitration device arbitrates the right to use the second bus, the priority of the second transfer request is reported to the second bus arbitration device. Based on the priority reported from the first bus arbitration device, the second bus arbitration device arbitrates the second bus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
