    摘要: Communication systems and communication control methods are disclosed. In one example, a slave device belonging to a group of devices to which arbitration is applicable sequentially transmits a start bit and a first address including a first bit having a value different from a corresponding first bit of predetermined pattern data. A master device sequentially transmits the start bit and the predetermined pattern data. The master device arbitrates the master device and the first slave device based on the value of the first bit.

    摘要: A master includes a transmission and receiving unit that transmits and receives signals to and from a slave, and the transmission and receiving unit receives read data read out from the slave, and typically drives the second bit of a preamble transmitted/received subsequent to the read data. The master can notify the slave that communication is or is not interrupted at some midpoint, on the basis of the second bit of the preamble. The present technology can be applied to a bus IF that communicates pursuant to, for example, the specification of I3C.

    摘要: A communication apparatus, a communication method, a program, and a communication system are disclosed. A master has a sending block for sending data to a slave at two bytes per word and a confirmation block for confirming the data to be sent to the slave that includes notification information for recognizing presence or absence of a word having invalid data. The slave has a receiving block for receiving the data sent from the master on a word basis and a recognition block for, if the received word is recognized to have invalid data according to the notification information, avoiding the execution of the processing based on that invalid data. For example, on the basis of a result of the confirmation of the notification information, the invalid data included in the word recognized to have invalid data is masked.
