2.5.3.5 S-states
The processor PECI client is always guaranteed to be operational in the S0 sleep state.
• The Ping(), GetDIB(), GetTemp(), RdPkgConfig(), WrPkgConfig(),
RdPCIConfigLocal() and WrPCIConfigLocal() will be fully operational in S0 and S1.
Responses in S3 or deeper states are dependent on POWERGOOD assertion status.
• The RdPCIConfig() and RdIAMSR() responses are guaranteed in S0 only. Behavior
in S1 or deeper states is indeterminate.
• PECI behavior is indeterminate in the S3, S4 and S5 states and responses to PECI
originator requests when the PECI client is in these states cannot be guaranteed.
2.5.3.6 Processor Reset
The processor PECI client is fully reset on all RESET_N assertions. Upon deassertion of
RESET_N where power is maintained to the processor (otherwise known as a ‘warm
reset’), the following are true:
• The PECI client assumes a bus Idle state.
• The Thermal Filtering Constant is retained.
• PECI SOCKET_ID is retained.
• GetTemp() reading resets to 0x0000.
• Any transaction in progress is aborted by the client (as measured by the client no
longer participating in the response).
• The processor client is otherwise reset to a default configuration.
PECI commands that utilize processor resources being reset will receive a ‘resource
unavailable’ response till the reset sequence is completed.
2.5.3.7 System Service Processor (SSP) Mode Support
Sockets in SSP mode have limited PECI command support. Only the following PECI
commands will be supported while in SSP mode. Other PECI commands are not
guaranteed to complete in this mode.
•Ping
• RdPCIConfigLocal
• WrPCIConfigLocal (all uncore and IIO CSRs within the processor PCI configuration
space will be accessible)
• RdPkgConfig (Index 0 only)
Sockets remain in SSP mode until the “Go” handshake is received. This is applicable to
the following SSP modes.
WrPCIConfigLocal() May require package ‘pop-up’ to C2 state
RdPCIConfig() May require package ‘pop-up’ to C2 state
