Hi,
I have my VHDL modules which access the processor bus. I have one more third party core wher in at also uses the processor bus , now i have no access to their source code.
Now my doubt is how to go about integrating these two since the tristaing of the processor bus should happen at only one place.
Any innovative soultion?? OR is it really possible or not.
Regards, Prav
If two or more "devices" can each drive a bus, each of them should be tristateable to avoid bus contention.

More specifically, for a tristate data bus as you mentioned for the processor that carries data, there is a bus arbitor somewhere. For your problem, you must check if the processor provides a bus arbitor that I think so. Otherwise it would generate bus conflicts. And the new module should have an input and an output to request the bus and gets the permission to drive the bus.
