GLPCI_CTRL Bit Descriptions
Bit Name Description
63:60 FTH In-Bound Flush Threshold. Controls the timing for requesting new read data while con-
currently flushing previously prefetched, stale read data. If the number of prefetched 64-
bit WORDs reaches this level then a pending request will be made.
59:56 RTH In-Bound Read Threshold. Controls the timing for prefetching read data. If the number
of prefetched 32-bit WORDs reaches this threshold, a subsequent GLIU request will be
generated to fetch the next cache line of read data.
55:52 SBRTH Southbridge In-Bound Read Threshold. Controls the timing for prefetching read data
for the AMD Geode™ companion device. If the number of prefetched 32-bit WORDs
reaches this threshold, a subsequent GLIU request will be generated to fetch the next
cache line of read data. The status of the companion device’s GNT# pin (GNT2#) is sam-
pled to determine when the companion device is generating an in-bound request.
51:49 RTL Retry Transaction Limit. Limits the number of out-bound retries. If a target signals retry
indefinitely, the PCI interface may be configured to abort the failing out-bound request.
000: No limit 100: 64 retries
001: 8 retries 101: 128 retries
010: 16 retries 110: 256 retries
011: 32 retries 111: 512 retries
48:46 DTL Delayed Transaction Limit. Limits the duration of delayed transactions. Once a read
transaction is delayed (retried before the first data phase has completed) all other in-
bound transactions are rejected until the original request is satisfied. If the original master
stops retrying, a live-lock condition may occur. If the number of rejected transactions
reaches the limit defined by this field, then the delayed transaction is forgotten.
000: No limit 100: 16 rejections
001: 2 rejections 101: 32 rejections
010: 4 rejections 110: 64 rejections
011: 8 rejections 111: 128 rejections
45:43 WTO In-Bound Write Timeout. Controls the flushing of in-bound posted write data. When an
in-bound write has completed on the PCI bus, an internal counter is loaded with a value
derived from this field. It will then count down on each PCI clock edge. When the counter
reaches 0, the posted write data is flushed to memory.
000: 4 PCI clock edge 100: 64 PCI clock edges
001: 8 PCI clock edge 101: 128 PCI clock edges
010: 16 PCI clock edge 110: 256 PCI clock edges
011: 32 PCI clock edges 111: No timeout
