Description

 

 

 

HD[63:0]#

I/O

Host Data: These signals are connected to the system data bus.

 

AGTL+

HD[63:0]# are transferred at a 4x rate. Note that the data signals are

 

 

inverted on the system bus.

 

 

 

 

HDSTBP[3:0]#

I/O

Differential Host Data Strobes: The differential source synchronous

HDSTBN[3:0]#

AGTL+

strobes used to transfer HD[63:0]# and DBI[3:0]# at the 4x transfer rate.

HD[31:16]#, DBI1#

 

 

HDSTBP0#, HDSTBN0#

HD[15:0]#, DBI0#

 

 

 

HIT#

I/O

Hit: This signal indicates that a caching agent holds an unmodified version

 

AGTL+

of the requested line. HIT# is also driven in conjunction with HITM# by the

 

 

target to extend the snoop window.

 

 

 

HITM#

I/O

Hit Modified: This signal indicates that a caching agent holds a modified

 

AGTL+

version of the requested line and that this agent assumes responsibility for

 

 

providing the line. HITM# is also driven in conjunction with HIT# to extend

 

 

the snoop window.

 

 

 

 

 

HLOCK#

I

Host Lock: All system bus cycles sampled with the assertion of HLOCK#

 

AGTL+

and ADS#, until the negation of HLOCK# must be atomic (i.e., no hub

 

 

interface or AGP snoopable access to system memory are allowed when

 

 

HLOCK# is asserted by the processor).

 

 

 

HREQ[4:0]#

I/O

Host Request Command: These signals define the attributes of the

 

AGTL+

request. In Enhanced Mode HREQ[4:0]# are transferred at 2x rate.

 

 

HREQ[4:0]# are asserted by the requesting agent during both halves of

 

 

Request Phase. In the first half the signals define the transaction type to a

 

 

level of detail that is sufficient to begin a snoop request. In the second half

 

 

the signals carry additional information to define the complete transaction

 

 

type.

 

 

 

 

The transactions supported by the MCH host bridge are defined in the

 

 

Section 5.1.

 

 

 

 

 

HTRDY#

O

Host Target Ready: HTRDY# indicates that the target of the processor

 

AGTL+

transaction is able to enter the data transfer phase.

 

 

 

RS[2:0]#

O

Response Status: RS[2:0]# indicates the type of response according to

 

AGTL+

the following the table:

011

Reserved (not driven by MCH)

 

 

100

101

No data response

 

 

110

Implicit Write back

 

 

111

Normal data response
