4.2.3Bus Functional Model (BFM)

Debug Recommendations

Contact your local Intel Field Sales representative to complete the proper software license agreement and non-disclosure agreement required to receive the ITP.

4.2.3Bus Functional Model (BFM)

A bus functional model for the Intel® Pentium® II processor system bus is available from third party vendors and requires a special non-disclosure agreement. Contact your local Intel Field Sales representative for information on the bus functional model vendors and to complete the appropriate non-disclosure agreements.

4.2.4I/O Buffer Models

IBIS Models are available from Intel for:

Intel® Pentium® II processor (QUAD only, IBIS models TBD)

82443GX IBIS Models

PIIX4E PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator IBIS Models

Contact your local Intel Field Sales representative for a copy of these models and to complete the appropriate non-disclosure agreements.

4.2.5FLOTHERM* Model

A FLOTHERM* Model is available for the Intel® Pentium® II processor.

4.3Debug Features

These suggestions are for debug purposes only on initial prototype systems, and are not required for production level systems. Some of these features may be desirable test functions that you may incorporate onto production boards.

4.3.1Intel® Pentium® II Processor LAI Issue

Note: If the LAI562 tool is not being used, this issue can be ignored. However, be aware that if you send a system to Intel for debug, the absence of the required workarounds will prohibit debugassistance from Intel.

To maintain backward compatibility with Intel® Pentium® II processor, Intel suggests the following circuitry to be considered. The LAI562 integration tool has been designed such that an extra load will be presented on the CMOS signals connected to the Slot 1 connector. The following list of signals are affected:

PREQ#, TCK, TDI, TDO, TMS, TRST#, INIT#, FLUSH#, STPCLK#, PICCLK, PICD[1:0]#, LINT[0]/INTR, LINT[1]/NMI, IERR#, SMI#, PWRGOOD, THERMTRIP#, SLP#, FERR#, IGNNE# and A20M#.

Figure 4-1describes the CMOS probe signals of the LAI562.
