Description

Mux

 

 

 

 

 

FRAME#

D8

I/O

Frame Cycle. Frame is driven by the current master to

---

 

 

 

indicate the beginning and duration of an access.

 

 

 

 

FRAME# is asserted to indicate the beginning of a bus

 

 

 

 

transaction. While FRAME# is asserted, data transfers

 

 

 

 

continue. FRAME# is de-asserted when the transaction

 

 

 

 

is in the final data phase.

 

 

 

 

This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IRDY#

F2

I/O

Initiator Ready. IRDY# is asserted to indicate that the

D14

 

 

 

bus master is able to complete the current data phase of

 

 

 

 

the transaction. IRDY# is used in conjunction with

 

 

 

 

TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any PCI clock in

 

 

 

 

which both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled as asserted.

 

 

 

 

During a write, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present

 

 

 

 

on AD[31:0]. During a read, it indicates that the master is

 

 

 

 

prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until

 

 

 

 

both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.

 

 

 

 

This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRDY#

F1

I/O

Target Ready. TRDY# is asserted to indicate that the tar-

D13

 

 

 

get agent is able to complete the current data phase of

 

 

 

 

the transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with

 

 

 

 

IRDY#. A data phase is complete on any PCI clock in

 

 

 

 

which both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled as asserted.

 

 

 

 

During a read, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present

 

 

 

 

on AD[31:0]. During a write, it indicates that the target is

 

 

 

 

prepared to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until

 

 

 

 

both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together.

 

 

 

 

This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

STOP#

G1

I/O

Target Stop. STOP# is asserted to indicate that the cur-

D15

 

 

 

rent target is requesting that the master stop the current

 

 

 

 

transaction. This signal is used with DEVSEL# to indicate

 

 

 

 

retry, disconnect, or target abort. If STOP# is sampled

 

 

 

 

active by the master, FRAME# is de-asserted and the

 

 

 

 

cycle is stopped within three PCI clock cycles. As an

 

 

 

 

input, STOP# can be asserted in the following cases:

 

 

 

 

1) If a PCI master tries to access memory that has

 

 

 

 

been locked by another master. This condition is

 

 

 

 

detected if FRAME# and LOCK# are asserted dur-

 

 

 

 

ing an address phase.

 

 

 

 

2) If the PCI write buffers are full or if a previously buff-

 

 

 

 

ered cycle has not completed.

 

 

 

 

3) On read cycles that cross cache line boundaries.

 

 

 

 

This is conditional based upon the programming of

 

 

 

 

GX1 module’s PCI Configuration Register, Index

 

 

 

 

41h[1].

 

 

 

 

This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.
