Abstract
The invention provides a method of synchronizing one or more devices on a first bus with one or more devices on a second bus. The method comprises acquiring timing information from the first bus and the second bus, determining a timing offset between the first bus and the second bus, and, broadcasting the timing offset to the one or more devices on the second bus so that the one or more devices on the second bus can adjust their timing to be synchronized with the one or more devices on the first bus.
