Description

 

 

 

G_DEVSEL#

I/O

Device Select: This signal indicates that a FRAME#-based AGP target

 

s/t/s

device has decoded its address as the target of the current access. The

 

AGP

MCH asserts G_DEVSEL# based on the DRAM address range being

 

 

accessed by a PCI initiator. As an input it indicates whether any device

 

 

on the bus has been selected.

 

 

 

G_REQ#

I

Request: Indicates that a FRAME# or PIPE#-based AGP master is

 

AGP

requesting use of the AGP interface. This signal is an input into the

 

 

MCH.

 

 

 

G_GNT#

O

Grant: During SBA, PIPE# and FRAME# operation, G_GNT#, along with

 

AGP

the information on the ST[2:0] signals (status bus), indicates how the

 

 

AGP interface will be used next.

 

 

 

G_AD[31:0]

I/O

Address/Data Bus: These signals are used to transfer both address and

 

AGP

data on the AGP interface.

 

 

 

G_C/BE[3:0]#

I/O

Command/Byte Enable:

 

AGP

During FRAME# Operation: During the address phase of a transaction,

 

 

 

 

G_C/BE[3:0]# define the bus command. During the data phase,

 

 

G_C/BE[3:0]# are used as byte enables. The byte enables determine

 

 

which byte lanes carry meaningful data.

 

 

During PIPE# Operation: When an address is enqueued using PIPE#,

 

 

the G_C/BE# signals carry command information. The command

 

 

encoding used during PIPE#-based AGP is DIFFERENT than the

 

 

command encoding used during FRAME#-based AGP cycles (or

 

 

standard PCI cycles on a PCI bus).

 

 

 

G_PAR

I/O

Parity:

 

AGP

During FRAME# Operations: This signal is driven by the MCH when it

 

 

 

 

acts as a FRAME#-based AGP initiator during address and data phases

 

 

for a write cycle, and during the address phase for a read cycle. PAR is

 

 

driven by the MCH when it acts as a FRAME#-based AGP target during

 

 

each data phase of a FRAME#-based AGP memory read cycle. Even

 

 

parity is generated across AD[31:0] and G_C/BE[3:0]#.

 

 

During SBA and PIPE# Operation: This signal is not used during SBA

 

 

and PIPE# operation.

 

 

 

NOTE: PCIRST# from the ICH2 is connected to RSTIN# and is used to reset AGP interface logic within the MCH. The AGP agent will also use PCIRST# provided by the ICH2 as an input to reset its internal logic.
