10.2.4Software PCI Reset (SBR—Secondary Bus Reset)
Commonly referred to as the Secondary Bus Reset (SBR), the software PCI reset is initiated by a write to the bridge control register and resets only the particular PCI segment. This reset can be used for various reasons, including but not limited to the following:
•Recovering from error conditions on the secondary bus
•Redoing enumeration
•Changing the operating frequency of the bus (33/66/100/133 MHz)
•Changing the operating mode of the bus (PCI or
This reset is synchronous to the PCI clock domain in which it is used. SBR is strictly restricted to the particular PCI segment and affects neither the other PCI segment nor the rest of the 41210 Bridge logic. Writes to the bridge configuration register with a new frequency or bus mode have no effect until the SBR is completed (see “Offset 40h:
