4.6.3.2P64-B Arbitration

The P64-B supports five PCI masters (the on-board gigabit ethernet controller, three slots on the 3-slot PCI Riser, and the P64H2). All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access using resources supplied by the P64H2. The host bridge PCI interface (P64H2) arbitration lines REQx* and GNTx* are special cases in that they are internal to the host bridge. The following table defines the arbitration connections.
