Hello, my name is Pablo Aghemo and I am an electrical
engineering student from Argentina who is trying to enter to
PCI's world. I apologize if my questions are not of the same
level as the others, it is because I am new at this.
After trying to implement the PCI interface for my addon card
with logic gates (I was crazy), I was advised by several kind
members of this mailing list, and started to find out about
programmable logic devices. I ended up with Altera's MAX
devices. I also downloaded from Altera's web site a sample
design for interfacing PCI.
I have programmed an EPM7128 with 84-pins PLCC (I had to
modify the design to make it fit) and when I tried it, my PC
didn't even started up, the screen was blank. I have a Triton
Pentium chipset, and the video controller is PCI.
What happened? When a device is incorrectly configured,
does the PCI manager disable the whole bridge?. I checked
the pins and I didn't find any mistake.
Can anyone help me? I will apreciate any comments.
