Error Handling

11.2.2.3Split Termination on PCI Express* Interface

Table 31 shows the split-completion errors received on the PCI Express* interface and how they translate to PCI-X.

Table 31. Completion-Status Translation for PCI Express* Split-Completion Terminations

PCI Express* Completion Status

 

PCI Completion

 

 

 

Successful (SC)

Successful

 

 

 

 

 

 

Memory reads: PCI target abort1

 

MAM = 1

I/O reads: PCI target abort

 

 

 

 

 

I/O writes: PCI target abort

 

 

 

Unsupported Request (UR)

 

Memory reads: PCI return all Fs

 

 

 

MAM = 0

I/O reads: PCI return all Fs

 

 

 

 

 

I/O writes: Normal completion

 

 

 

 

PCI-X split master

Completer Abort (CA)

PCI target abort1

 

PCI-X split target abort1

 

NOTES:

 

 

1.Data is returned to the point of error, and then a target abort is signaled.

2.The 41210 Bridge issues a split-completion error message and either master aborts or target aborts the remaining completion sequence when an abort is detected on the PCI Express*/peer interface. If several bytes of data return successfully for the request, the data is returned to the point of error (rounded to the nearest ADB), and then the split-completion error message is generated.
