3.12.5Design Notes
•The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors do not support the 5 V PCI signal interface by itself. Only the 3.3 V signal interface is supported without signal level conversion, however, it is possible to interface to 5 V logic when using a voltage level converter. See Figure 17 for details.
•The PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev. 2.2 requires that the bus is always “parked”, as some device is always driving the AD lines. There is need to use
— FRAME# | — TRDY# | — IRDY# | — DEVSEL# |
— STOP# | — SERR# | — PERR# | — LOCK# |
— INTA# | — INTB# | — INTC# | — INTD# |
•The processors’ GPIO pins can be used by PCI devices on PCI slots to request an interrupt from the processors’ PCI controller.
•PCI_INTA_N is used to request interrupts to external PCI Masters. This signal is an open collector and requires a
3.13JTAG Interface
JTAG is the popular name for IEEE standards
•
•Connection to software debugging tools through the JTAG interface
•
The interface is controlled through five dedicated test access port (TAP) pins: TDI, TMS, TCK, nTRST, and TDO, as described in the IEEE 1149.1 standard. The
The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors may be controlled during debug through a JTAG interface to the processor, the debug tools such as the Macraigor* Raven*, EPI* Majic*, Wind River Systems* visionPROBE* / visionICE* or various other JTAG tools plug into the JTAG interface through a connector.
