3.12.4PCI Option Interface

The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors can be used in a design as a host or as an option device. This section describes how the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors can be connected as an option device to obtain proper functionality. There are slight differences in the hardware interface when designing for option mode. All routing and board recommendations described in previous sections of this document apply, however the design must use the device pin connections listed in Table 21.
