Signal Definitions

STOP# G1 I/O Target Stop. STOP# is asserted to indicate that the cur-
rent target is requesting that the master stop the current
transaction. This signal is used with DEVSEL# to indicate
retry, disconnect, or target abort. If STOP# is sampled
active by the master, FRAME# is de-asserted and the
cycle is stopped within three PCI clock cycles. As an
input, STOP# can be asserted in the following cases:
1) If a PCI master tries to access memory that has
been locked by another master. This condition is
detected if FRAME# and LOCK# are asserted dur-
ing an address phase.
2) If the PCI write buffers are full or if a previously buff-
ered cycle has not completed.
3) On read cycles that cross cache line boundaries.
This is conditional based upon the programming of
GX1 module’s PCI Configuration Register, Index
41h[1].
This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.

LOCK# H3 I/O Lock Operation. LOCK# indicates an atomic operation
that may require multiple transactions to complete. When
LOCK# is asserted, non-exclusive transactions may pro-
ceed to an address that is not currently locked (at least
16 bytes must be locked). A grant to start a transaction
on PCI does not guarantee control of LOCK#. Control of
LOCK# is obtained under its own protocol in conjunction
with GNT#.
It is possible for different agents to use PCI while a single
master retains ownership of LOCK#. The arbiter can
implement a complete system lock. In this mode, if
LOCK# is active, no other master can gain access to the
system until the LOCK# is de-asserted.
This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.

DEVSEL# E4 I/O Device Select. DEVSEL# indicates that the driving
device has decoded its address as the target of the cur-
rent access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether
any device on the bus has been selected. DEVSEL# is
also driven by any agent that has the ability to accept
cycles on a subtractive decode basis. As a master, if no
DEVSEL# is detected within and up to the subtractive
decode clock, a master abort cycle is initiated (except for
special cycles which do not expect a DEVSEL#
returned).
This signal is internally connected to a pull-up resistor.
