Subject: Re: [pci] BUS Mastering & TRDY generation ?
Dear Gustaw:
Well, for the first time ever, I now can say that the PCI Wishbone
bridge will generate TRDY when reading vendor/deviceID. I can now admire
that fact that a transaction completes sufficient to see on my logic
analyzer both a TRDY assertion by the bridge and the default vendor/deviceID
at dword zero of "00012321". It is loaded into a Xilinx VirtexE 2000 chip. I
can tell you that I had some trouble with the fact that the IDSEL needed to
be set correctly. I did not get TRDY until the IDSEL was set to an address
bit that my host was asserting. In my particular case, I am not using a PC,
I have a vxWorks host connected directly to the bridge and I can see with
the logic analyzer that it scans from AD[18]..AD[31]. I suspect that most
motherboards do not scan AD[11]..AD[15] as I received an e-mail from a
friend that told me the default setting of AD[11] in the testbench (which I
used for my hardware) was wrong and the PCI spec indicates that PCI bridges
talking to the PCI-Wishbone bridge will not scan AD[11]. So, all I can tell
you is that it works, it reads configurations space back (at least dword
zero), I'm tired and tomorrow is another day.
