Method and apparatus for providing address parity checking for multiple overlapping address spaces on a shared bus

摘要

A method and apparatus for supporting multiple overlapping address spaces on a share bus (401) includes both an address comparator (420) and an address size indicator (435). The address comparator (420) compares an address, corresponding to a request to be issued on the bus (401), to a plurality of address spaces. The address size indicator (435) indicates a first address space of the plurality of address spaces to which the address corresponds. <IMAGE>
