Table 48. Configuration Own Bits Register

7:1

Reserved

R

Read only as 0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Indicates ownership of the Upstream Configuration Address and

 

 

 

Upstream Configuration Data registers.

 

 

 

When 0, upstream Configuration Address and Upstream

 

 

 

Configuration Data registers are not owned. When read as a 0

 

 

 

from the secondary interface, this bit is subsequently set to a 1 by

 

Upstream

R0TS (S)

the 21555 if the Upstream Configuration Control bit is a 1.

• When 1, a master owns Upstream Configuration Address and

R(P)

 

Own Bit

Upstream Configuration Data registers. When this semaphore

 

 

 

 

 

method is used, other masters should not attempt to access

 

 

 

these registers when this bit is a 1. This bit is automatically

 

 

 

cleared once the configuration transaction has completed on the

 

 

 

initiator bus.

 

 

 

• Reset value is 0.

Enables the 21555 to perform downstream indirect configuration

 

 

 

transactions.

 

 

 

When 0, the 21555 will not initiate a configuration transaction on the

accessed.

 

 

 

• Reset value is 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Controls the 21555 ability to respond to a configuration transaction that it

 

 

 

generates as a master.
