PCI bus arbiter
418
NS9750 Hardware Reference
PCI Subsystem ID register
Read-only value. To change this value, use the
SUBSYSTEM_ID field in the PCI
Configuration 2 register (see page 430) in the PCI arbiter.
PCI Expansion ROM register
Read-only value, hardwired to
0x00000000.
PCI Interrupt Line register
Read/write value indicating to which line of an interrupt controller the PCI interrupt
generated by the bridge is connected. This register is used only in those systems in
which NS9750 is not handling PCI interrupts.
PCI Interrupt Pin register
Read-only value programmed using the
INTERRUPT_PIN field in the PCI Configuration 3
register (see page 431) in the PCI arbiter. Set this value to
0x1 (default value) when
NS9750 drives
INTA#.
PCI Min Grant register
Read-only value programmed using the
MIN_GRANT field in the PCI Configuration 3
register (see page 431) in the PCI arbiter.
PCI Max Latency register
Read-only value programmed using the
MAX_LATENCY field in the PCI Configuration 3
register (see page 431) in the PCI arbiter.
PCI bus arbiter
NS9750 provides an embedded PCI bus arbiter that supports up to three external PCI
masters and the internal PCI-to-AHB bridge. The arbiter uses a rotating priority
scheme. An AHB slave is integrated with the PCI bus arbiter to access programmable
registers, to support system configuration and error reporting.
