Arbitration for Shared Resources

In an SoC, 16 arbitration bits are available to allow the two CPUs to arbitrate for shared resources.
The 16 arbitration bits are mapped into CPU register memory spaces.

To request the shared resources, the requesting CPU sets the arbitration bit. It then reads
back to see if the bit is set.

Not like DRAM memory access, this arbitration hardware is surely cannot be interrupted.
