Product Specification
EARLY ACCESS
The REQ_N_toArb facilitates an interface to an internal (i.e., in the FPGA) pci arbiter. The v3.0 input
buffer for GNT_N is removed. This allows an internal connection to GNT_N when using an internal
arbiter. When an external arbiter is used, GNT_N_fromArb is not needed.
REQ_N is a 3-stated I/O. The REQ_N_toArb port is available to maintain a v3.0 core-like interface. The
REQ_N_toArb port allows the use of the same port list for PCI bus interface and the ucf-file for the v3.0
core is the standard file.
The v3.0 core requires that GNT_N be asserted for two clock cycles to initiate a transaction upon
receiving grants.
Bus2PCI_INTR is an active High signal. It allows asynchronous assertion of INTR_A on the PCI bus.
The signal is driven by user supplied circuitry (i.e., a PLB GPIO IP core). If it is not connected in the
mhs-file, then EDK 8.1 tools will tie the signal Low. The signal is inverted in the PLB PCI Bridge and
AND’d with the bridge interrupt signal (active Low) to drive the INTR_N input of the v3.0 core. This
signal then asynchronously drives INTR_A on the PCI bus. See the v3.0 core specifications on INTR_A
behavior relative to v3.0 input INTR_N. The v3.0 core command register interrupt disable bit controls the
INTR_A operation and v3.0 core status register Interrupt status bit flags if v3.0 core INTR_A is asserted.
P72 IRDY_I Internal OInput from PCI Bus IRDY_N availalble at top-level as
output from bridge
PCI 64-bit Extensions (reserved for future support of 64-bit PCI)
P73 PAR6 4 PCI Bus I/O Generates and checks even parity across AD[63:32]
and CBE[7:4]
P74 ACK64_N PCI Bus I/O
Indicates that a target has decoded the address
presented during the address phase and is claiming
the transaction as a 64-bit target
P75 REQ64_N PCI Bus I/O Driven by the initiator to indicate a 64-bit bus
transaction
User Asserted PCI Interrupt Signal
P76 Bus2PCI_INTR Internal I
Active high signal to asynchronously assert INTR_A.
Inverted signal drives INTR_N user application input
of v3.0 core. See v3.0 core documents for details on
INTR_N functionality.
Virtex-4 Only, IDELAY Clock
P77 RCLK Internal I200 MHz clock input to IDELAY elements of Virtex-4
buffers. Ignored if not Virtex-4 architecture.
PCI Bus Monitoring Debug Vector Signal
P78 PCI_monitor(0:47) Internal OOutput vector to monitor PCI Bus.
