I have literature here that shows these two equations:
subaction gap: detected by (27...29)+(gap_count*16)/base_rate
arb.reset gap: detected by (51...53)+(gap_count*32)/base_rate
[base_rate = 98.304/s]
But what I don't know from this is what minimal gaps (and hence
what minimum of gap_count) are needed for a given bus topology.
I will dig deeper and learn about how the gap timing relates to
the topology; though I'd certainly welcome any insight you could
provide on occasion.
