processor PECI clients. All command responses are prepended with a completion code
that contains additional pass/fail status information. Refer to Section 2.5.5.2 for details
regarding completion codes.
Note: The 2-byte parameter field and 4-byte read data field defined in Figure 2-10 are sent in standard PECI ordering with LSB
first and MSB last.
2.5.2.4.2 Supported Responses
The typical client response is a passing FCS, a passing Completion Code and valid data.
Under some conditions, the client’s response will indicate a failure.
2.5.2.5 WrPkgConfig()
The WrPkgConfig() command provides write access to the package configuration space
(PCS) within the processor, including various power and thermal management
functions. Typical PCS write services supported by the processor may include power
limiting, thermal averaging constant programming and so on. Refer to Section 2.5.2.6
for more details on processor-specific services supported through this command.
2.5.2.5.1 Command Format
