DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minimum grant. The contents of this field may be used by host BIOS to assign a latency timer register value

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the flash media controller. The default for this register indicates that the flash media controller may need

 

7−0

MIN_GNT

RU

 

to sustain burst transfers for nearly 64 s and thus request a large value be programmed in bits 15−8 of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the PCI7x21/PCI7x11 latency timer and class cache line size register at offset 0Ch in the PCI configuration

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

space (see Section 11.6).

Maximum latency. The contents of this field may be used by host BIOS to assign an arbitration priority level

MAX_LAT

RU

 

to the flash media controller. The default for this register indicates that the flash media controller may need

 

 

to access the PCI bus as often as every 0.25 s; thus, an extremely high priority level is requested. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

contents of this field may also be loaded through the serial EEPROM.
