List of Registers

Table 51. Downstream I/O Data and Upstream I/O Data Registers

The Downstream I/O Data register is used for I/O transactions to be initiated on the secondary bus, and the Upstream I/O Data register is used for I/O transactions to be initiated on the primary bus. The downstream register can be written from the primary interface only and the upstream register can be written from the secondary interface only. A downstream transaction is initiated by a primary interface I/O register access only and an upstream transaction is initiated by a secondary interface I/O access only.

an I/O write) or read (for an I/O read) using an I/O transaction. This
