Hello PCI experts,
Could someone please explain a few things about rule 1 of
the target termination signaling rules (3.3.3.2.1) ??
On page 42:
1. A data phase completes on any rising edge on which IRDY# is
asserted and either STOP# or TRDY# is asserted.
Furthur down the page...
Rule 1 means that a data phase can complete with or without TRDY#
being asserted. When a target is unable to complete a data transfer,
it can assert STOP# without asserting TRDY#.
I undersatand the above. I do not understand the next line:
When both FRAME# and IRDY# are asserted, the master has committed
to complete two data phases.
If STOP# is asserted on first data phase of a two data phase transaction
(without TRDY# being asserted - no data transfered), what
distiguishes that two complete data phases has occured on the bus ???
In other words, how do I know by looking at the pci signals that the
second data phase occured?
Thank you in advance!
