Product Specification
EARLY ACCESS
transaction. The PLB PCI Bridge performs retries up to a parameterized number of times as
described earlier for the condition of disconnects with/without data. A time-out cannot occur
during a single transfer because the v3.0 core requires completion of one data transfer after the
latency timer expires.
• If a target abort occurs during either a single or burst write operation, the PLB Master Write Target
Abort interrupt is asserted. If a burst write is in progress, Sl_MErr is asserted with Sl_wrDAck.
Recall that a target abort often indicates that the target cannot proceed with subsequent
transactions; this is expected to be a major failure most likely requiring a reset.
• If the remote PLB master burst writes beyond a valid address range, the PLB IPIF will accept the
data because the PLB IPIF does not check for valid address with data phase. However, the PLB PCI
Bridge will not accept the data and the data will remain buffered in the PLB IPIF. In this situation, a
PLB IPIF timeout will occur for each double word buffered in the IPIF. Because the write is posted,
the PLB transaction has completed on the PLB and Slv_MErr is not asserted. When each timeout
occurs, the double word presented at the IPIC is discarded and the next double word is presented
at the IPIC. After the last timeout occurs and the last valid data is transferred successfully to the
PCI target, the bridge is available for a new write transaction.
Table 18 summarizes the abnormal conditions that a PCI target can respond with and how the response
is translated to the PLB master.
