64-bit PCI card
Hi,
>From the PCI spec v2.1, it states that the central resource must control
the the state of REQ64# to inform 64-bit PCI cards that it is connected to
a 64-bit bus or not. (section 3.10 pg. 108)
"If REQ64# is deasserted when RST# is deasserted, the device is not
connected to a 64-bit bus. If REQ64# is asserted when RST# is deasserted,
the device is connected to a 64-bit bus."
My question is that for a 64-bit PCI card detecting it is NOT on a 64-bit bus
(ie. 32-bit bus) does the card terminates the upper AD[63:32], CBE[7:4] lines
using REQ64# as the data and the RST# as the gate of a transparent latch to
control some active pullup device??? (not clear from the spec!!)
If not, how does the card terminates the upper 64-bit extension bus pins??
thanks in advance
