PCI WRITE TO XROM region








 
        HI 

THIS QUESTION is about write  cycles to the Expansion Rom Base Address 
region.( i am not referring to writes to the register itself ) 

if there is a write cycle to the region pointed to by the Expansion Rom 
Base Address ( PCI CONFIG OFFSET = 30) region what is the best thing to do 
:


1- do not assert devsel , as if the cycle is not yours 
2- assert devel & do a target abort 
3- write the data & change your eprom -- not pretty 

the ROM needed for this PCI controller have a certain method to change the 
ROM  through a back door way .( write address , write data , issue a 
command ) .

Thanks
