Follow PCI addressing rules, otherwise assert a target abort.
Note that configuration registers, no matter where they are,
are accessed by configuration cycles only. Note that the PLL
will only allow 8 bit configuration accesses, the Virtual Regis-
ters TBLBASE registers are 32 bit access only, and the
VRCFG is 16 bit access only.
Any other access will result in a target abort.
For PIO type accesses, only 16 bit I/O cycles are allowed,
other wise a target abort will result.
Any other access will result in a target abort.
Follow PCI addressing rules.
Usually, only 16 bit accesses will be used to download and
access the DSP. Byte wide are also allowed for DSP config-
uration accesses. Word accesses must be on word bound-
aries.
Any other access will result in a target abort.
Any other access will result in a target abort.
The PCI interface consists of three major blocks, the PCI master interface, the PCI slave interface and the PCI datap-
ath. The PCI master interface contains the master state machine, the master control logic, and the PM bus arbiter. The
PCI slave interface contains the target state machine, the target control logic and configuration register headers. The
PCI datapath is the de-multiplexing logic for the address, data and byte enable data paths for the PS and PM busses.
The PM and PS busses are described in detail in the SSA7785 ThunderBird Avenger™ Internal Busses section. Parti-
tioning of these PCI blocks are done in this manner to reduce block inter-connectivity and to provide an interface
between the three major sections of the PCI interface.
PCI Master Interface
The SSA7785 ThunderBird Avenger™ PCI master interface performs the memory read and write cycles initiated by the
DMA or Virtual Registers blocks. The major components of the PCI master interface are the master state machine, the
PM bus arbiter and the master control logic. Each of the functional blocks will be discussed in detail.
