Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This register contains the address for a configuration transaction to be

 

 

 

generated on the target bus. The address is driven exactly as written in this

 

 

 

register. This register should be written before the corresponding

 

 

DCA:

Downstream or Upstream Configuration Data register is accessed. Once

 

 

the Downstream or Upstream Configuration Data register is accessed, the

 

 

 

 

CFG_ADDR

R/(WP)

transaction is initiated on the secondary or primary bus, respectively. When

31:0

 

the semaphore method is used, a master should not write to this register

(CA)

 

unless the master has successfully read a 0 from the Downstream or

 

UCA:

 

 

Upstream Configuration Own bit.

 

 

 

 

 

R/(WS)

The Downstream Configuration Address register cannot be written from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

secondary interface.

 

 

 

The Upstream Configuration Address register cannot be written from the

 

 

 

primary interface.
