Figure 12-37 shows an example of the termination signals protocol for back-to-back reads to two different
slave devices who properly take turns driving the termination signals. This assumes a system using slave
devices that drive termination signals.

12.4.2.10 Bus Operation in External Master Mode
External master mode enables an external master to access the internal address space of the MCU.
Figure 12-38 shows how to connect an MCU to an external master (a second MCU) and a shared SDR
memory to operate in external master mode. Multi-master support is only available in the MPC5554.
Limited support for external master accesses (master/slave systems only) is available in the MPC5553, see
Section 12.5.5, “Dual-MCU Operation with Reduced Pinout MCUs.”

Latched version (1 cycle delayed) used for externally driven
TEA and TA.
The EBI drives address and control signals an extra cycle because it uses a latched version of TA
*
This is the earliest that the EBI can start another transfer, in the case of continuing a set of small accesses.
For all other cases, an extra cycle is needed before the EBI can start another TS.
