<p>An IEEE 1394 compliant bus controller (11) transfers data packets between connected nodes (1, 2, 3, 4, 23). The controller (11) includes a processor (13, 14) which divides a series of data into blocks and then stores the blocks in multiple packets (one block per packet) . The packets are then transferred over the bus from a source node to a destination node at equal intervals until the entire series of data has been transferred. An initialization prohibition unit (15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22) prohibits initialization of the nodes during the data transfer which may be caused, for example, by hot plugging (connecting a new node to the bus) during the data transfer. <IMAGE></p> |
