Subject: Re: Re: [pci] about turnaround
Hi!
During turnaround cycles, nobody drives AD or CBE signals. For the period of
turnaround cycle, the precharged bus will retain stable. But I think you wants
to know, who will drive the bus after turnaround cycle, if nobody wants the
bus for e.g. 10 seconds.
I mentioned that bus parking ensures the stability of pint-to-point and shared
32-bit signals (AD, CBE etc.). That means, when nobody wants the bus, arbiter
grants it to a parking master, who is responsible for driving this signals,
until somebody wants to have the bus.
I hope I helped.
regards,
Tadej
