PLB PCI Full Bridge (v1.00a)

Product Specification
EARLY ACCESS
subordinate buses. Device numbers are independent for each PLB PCI bridge instantiated, but bus
numbering must be monotonically increasing for all primary buses and their subordinate buses.
Abnormal Terminations
Responses to abnormal terminations of Configuration Read/Writes follow closely to single
reads/writes by a remote PLB master from/to a remote PCI target. Details of each transaction can be
reviewed in the previous sections; however, some differences exist. Shown in
Table 23 is a table
summary of responses to abnormal terminations during configuration transactions. The differences as
compared to PLB master read/writes to remote targets are shown.

Automatically retried until
the transfer completes
Automatically retried a parameterized
number of times. If the last of the PCI write
command retries fail due to a PCI retry, the
PLB Master Burst Write Retry interrupt is
asserted. The PLB master must reissue
command per PCI specification, if last
termination was a retry.

Design Implementation
Design Tools
The PLB PCI Bridge design is implemented using the VHDL. All coding standards and abbreviations
specified in IPSPEC001 Virtex-II Pro Coding Standards and IPSPEC002 Virtex-II Pro Standard
Abbreviations have been adhered to.
Xilinx XST and Synplicity’s Synplify Pro synthesis tools are used for synthesizing the PLB PCI Bridge.
The NGC format from XST and EDIF netlist output from Synplify Pro are then input to the Xilinx
Alliance tool suite for actual device implementation.
