PCI Bus Demystified
by Doug Abbott
Description
This book is intended as a thorough introduction to the PCI bus.
It is not a replacement for the specification nor does it go into that
level of detail. Think of it as a “companion” to the specification.
If you have a basic understanding of computer architecture and
can read timing diagrams, this book is for you. Some knowledge of
the Intel x86 processor family is useful but not essential.
computer busses and then introduces the PCI bus, its features and
benefits, and describes the signals that make up PCI.
Chapter 2: Describes the arbitration process by which multiple
masters share access to the bus. This also includes a discussion of
bus latency.
Chapter 3: Explains the bus protocol including basic data
transfer transactions, transaction termination and error detection
and reporting.
Chapter 4: Covers the advanced and optional features of PCI
including interrupt handling, the “Special” cycle and extensions
to 64 bits.
Chapter 5: Describes the electrical and mechanical features of
PCI with emphasis on its “green” specifications. This also covers
66 MHz PCI.
Chapter 6: Explores the extensive topic of Plug-and-Play
configuration. This is the feature that truly distinguishes PCI from
all of the bus architectures that have preceded it.
Chapter 7: Describes the PCI BIOS, a platform-independent
API for accessing PCI’s configuration space.
Chapter 8: Explores the concept of PCI bridging as a way to
build larger systems. This also describes an alternative interrupt
mechanism using ordinary PCI transactions.
Chapter 9: Introduces Compact PCI, the industrial strength
version of the PCI bus.
Chapter 10: Wraps things up with a look at Hot Plug and
Hot Swap, two approaches to the problem of maintaining missioncritical
systems by allowing modules to be swapped while the system
is running. |
