  • Patent number: 10581973
    Abstract: A computer system and a bus arbitration method are provided. The computer system includes a bus, a plurality of master devices, and a slave device. The master devices and the slave device are coupled to the bus. Each of the master devices determines the number of the operating master devices through the bus. When a first master device intends to access the slave device, the first master device performs a bus arbitration on the slave device and attempts to access the slave device. If the slave device is accessed successfully, the first master device does not participate in N number of times of subsequent bus arbitrations. If the slave device is accessed unsuccessfully, the first master device determines whether the slave device is released. If the slave device is released, the first master device performs a next bus arbitration and attempts to access the slave device continuously.
