Data processing system including a main processor and a co-processor and co-processor error handling logic.

摘要

In a data processing system including a main processor (1) and a co-processor (2), a logic circuit (6) is coupled to receive error and busy outputs of the co-processor to generate an interrupt output on co-incidence of active error and busy signals and to latch the busy signal to the main processor to ensure that the main processor will honour the interrupt before executing another co-processor instruction.
