Request indicates to the system arbiter that this agent

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

desires use of the PCI bus. This is a point-to-point signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every master has its own REQ/ signal.

Grant indicates to the agent that access to the PCI bus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

has been granted. This is a point-to-point signal. Every

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

master has its own GNT/ signal.

8 mA PCI

Parity Error may be pulsed active by an agent that

 

 

 

 

S

 

detects a data parity error. PERR/ can be used by any

 

 

 

 

 

 

agent to signal data corruption. However, on detection of

 

 

 

 

 

 

a PERR/ pulse, the central resource may generate a

 

 

 

 

 

 

nonmaskable interrupt to the host CPU, which often

 

 

 

 

 

 

implies the system is unable to continue operation once

 

 

 

 

 

 

error processing is complete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SERR/

8 mA PCI

System Error is an open drain output used to report

 

 

 

 

 

 

address parity errors as well as critical errors other than

 

 

 

 

 

 

parity.
