18.7.4 Note on the States of Bits MST and TRN when Arbitration is Lost
When sequential bit-manipulation instructions are used to set the MST and TRS bits to select
master transmission in multi-master operation, a conflicting situation where AL in ICSR = 1 but
the mode is master transmit mode (MST = 1 and TRS = 1) may arise; this depends on the timing
of the loss of arbitration when the bit manipulation instruction for TRS is executed.
This can be avoided in either of the following ways.
• In multi-master operation, use the MOV instruction to set the MST and TRS bits.
• When arbitration is lost, check whether the MST and TRS bits are 0. If the MST and TRS bits
have been set to a value other than 0, clear the bits to 0.
