The Intel
®
41210 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge (called hereafter the 41210 Bridge or 41210)
includes device-specific registers that allow for control of the bridges’s behavior, both internally
and externally. Examples of these device-specific registers are the arbiter control register, the
prefetch control register, and so on. Depending on the usage model, these registers might need to
be programmed to a different value than the reset-default, every time 41210 goes through a
component reset.
When application-specific initialization of the 41210 is required, the CFGRETRY strap must be
asserted at the rising edge of PERST#. This places the 41210 Bridge in a local initialization mode,
and all configuration accesses from PCI Express* is retried by returning a completion with the
configuration request retry status. As soon as the local configuration is completed, the “Local
Initialization In Progress bit” in the “Offset FCh: BINIT—Bridge Initialization Register” on
page 104 must be cleared to enable host access to the bridge configuration registers.
Local initialization can be accomplished via SMBus access or Type 0 configuration cycles from the
secondary bus. The CFGRST# output is asserted whenever the configuration space is reset and can
be used as a control signal to re-initialize the application-specific parameters. The X_RST# signal
must not be used since the configuration space is not cleared due to a software-initiated secondary
bus reset.
