PCI Controller—Intel
®
IXP42X product line and IXC1100 control plane processors
target interface — in conjunction with the target interface FIFOs — will use the South
AHB Master interface of the PCI Controller to provided read and write access to AHB
agents, PCI Controller PCI Configuration registers (through Configuration cycles). The
PCI Controller Configuration and Status Registers accessible through Target
transactions will be accessed directly from the PCI-Target Interface.
Table 97 lists the supported command types, when the IXP42X product line and
IXC1100 control plane processors are used as a target of a PCI transaction. The PCI
Target interface does not support the following features:
• Lock cycles
• VGA palette snoop
• Dual address cycles
• Cache-line wrap mode addressing (Disconnected after first data phase of
transaction)
• Type 1 Configuration space
When the IXP42X product line and IXC1100 control plane processors want to use an
external PCI device as the target of a PCI transfer, the PCI Controller Initiator interface
will be used to generate the appropriate PCI bus cycles and forward the information to
the PCI bus. There are three ways in which PCI bus cycles may be initiated:
— The DMA channels generate PCI Memory cycles. Refer to “PCI Controller DMA
Controller” on page 234 for additional details.
— AHB masters generate PCI Memory cycles using memory-mapped direct access
on the AHB bus. Refer to “Example: AHB Memory Base Address Register, AHB
I/O Base Address Register, and PCI Memory Base Address Register” on
page 220 for additional details.
— Interrupt Acknowledge, Special Cycle, I/O, Configuration, and single-data-
phase Memory cycles are generated indirectly by AHB masters using a Non-
