19.6 XL Bus Arbitration Priority

To prevent XL bus arbitration livelock, the PCI controller should have the same or higher XL bus
arbitration priority as other XL bus masters that access PCI space. If the XL bus arbiter master priority
register (PRI) is used, it should be programmed so that the PCI priority value has higher XL bus priority
than all other XL bus masters that address the PCI space through the XL bus slave interface of the PCI
Controller. XL bus masters that do not perform transactions to PCI across the XL internal bus can have
higher priority.
Note that the default priority setting uses the programmed priority settings where the G2 Core is set to
highest. If the Priority Register Enable is disabled for PCI (Master 3), the arbiter uses the hardware priority
values. The PCI hardwired priority is 0, highest. See Section 20.3, “Register Definition,” for more details.
