6 Serial ROM Interface

The TSB12LV26 provides a serial bus interface to initialize the 1394 global unique ID register and a few PCI configuration registers through a serial ROM. The TSB12LV26 communicates with the serial ROM via the 2-wire serial interface.

After power-up the serial interface initializes the locations listed in Table 6±1. While the TSB12LV26 is accessing the serial ROM, all incoming PCI slave accesses are terminated with retry status. Table 6±2 shows the serial ROM memory map required for initializing the TSB12LV26 registers.
