Hi Limor,


As you mentioned, the special cycle is the mechanism for this. You may do a burst transfer using special cycle mechanism.

Thanks,
Tripathi.

I'm interested on broadcasting huge amount of data to multiple PCI 
agents.

The PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.1 defines a broadcast 
mechanism called Special Cycle Command.

The broadcast messages are for SHUTDOWN, HALT or Intel x86 processors.

How can I send huge amount of data on the same Bus segment to multiple
PCI agents?

Regards
Limor.
