WLRTx Write Lock Resolution Threshold. This field is used by
the PHB to determine a PPC bound write FIFO threshold
at which a bridge lock resolution will creat e a retry on a
pending PCI bound transaction. The encoding of this field
is shown in the following table.
RLRTx Read Lock Resolution Threshold. This field is used by
the PHB to determine a PPC bound read FIFO threshold
at which a bridge lock resolution will creat e a retry on a
pending PCI bound transaction. The encoding of this field
is shown in the following table.
The PPC Prescaler Adjust Register (XPAD) is used to specify a scale
factor for the prescaler to ensure that the tim e base for the bus timer is
1MHz. The scale factor is calculated as follows:
XPAD = 256 - Clk,
where Clk is the frequency of the CLK input in MHz. The following table
shows the scale factors for some common CLK frequencies.
