PI7C8154B
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT
PCI-to-PCI BRIDGE
The initiator leaves the LOCK# signal de-asserted during the address phase and asserts LOCK# one
clock cycle later. Once a data transfer is completed from the target, the target lock has been
achieved.
6.2.1
LOCKED TRANSACTIONS IN DOWNSTREAM DIRECTION
Locked transactions can cross the bridge only in the downstream direction, from the primary bus to
the secondary bus.
When the target resides on another PCI bus, the master must acquire not only the lock on its own
PCI bus but also the lock on every bus between its bus and the target’s bus. When the bridge
detects on the primary bus, an initial locked transaction intended for a target on the secondary bus,
the bridge samples the address, transaction type, byte enable bits, and parity, as described in
Section 2.7.4. It also samples the lock signal. If there is a lock established between 2 ports or the
target bus is already locked by another master, then the current lock cycle is retried without
forward. Because a target retry is signaled to the initiator, the initiator must relinquish the lock on
the primary bus, and therefore the lock is not yet established.
The first locked transaction must be a memory read transaction. Subsequent locked transactions can
be memory read or memory write transactions. Posted memory write transactions that are a part of
the locked transaction sequence are still posted. Memory read transactions that are a part of the
locked transaction sequence are not pre-fetched.
When the locked delayed memory read request is queued, the bridge does not queue any more
transactions until the locked sequence is finished. The bridge signals a target retry to all
transactions initiated subsequent to the locked read transaction that are intended for targets on the
other side of the bridge. The bridge allows any transactions queued before the locked transaction to
complete before initiating the locked transaction.
When the locked delayed memory read request transaction moves to the head of the delayed
transaction queue, the bridge initiates the transaction as a locked read transaction by de-asserting
LOCK# on the target bus during the first address phase, and by asserting LOCK# one cycle later. If
LOCK# is already asserted (used by another initiator), PI7C8154B waits to request access to the
secondary bus until LOCK# is de-asserted when the target bus is idle. Note that the existing lock on
the target bus could not have crossed PI7C8154B. Otherwise, the pending queued locked
transaction would not have been queued. When PI7C8154B is able to complete a data transfer with
the locked read transaction, the lock is established on the secondary bus.
When the initiator repeats the locked read transaction on the primary bus with the same address,
transaction type, and byte enable bits, PI7C8154B transfers the read data back to the initiator, and
the lock is then also established on the primary bus.
For PI7C8154B to recognize and respond to the initiator, the initiator’s subsequent attempts of the
read transaction must use the locked transaction sequence (de-assert LOCK# during address phase,
and assert LOCK# one cycle later). If the LOCK# sequence is not used in subsequent attempts, a
master timeout condition may result. When a master timeout condition occurs, SERR# is
conditionally asserted (see Section 5.4), the read data and queued read transaction are discarded,
and the LOCK# signal is de-asserted on the target bus.
Once the intended target has been locked, any subsequent locked transactions initiated on the
initiator bus that are forwarded by the bridge are driven as locked transactions on the target bus.
