Notes
Due to a limitation in the hardware, it is not possible to emulate the detection of a non-advisory uncor-
rectable non-fatal error.
Non Transparent Operation Restrictions
The following lists usage restrictions associated with non-transparent operation.
–
TLPs received and translated by the NT function must not map into an NT BAR aperture in the
destination partition.
–
TLPs received and translated by the NT function must not map into the BAR 0 aperture of the DMA
function in the destination partition.
1
–
TLPs received and translated by the NT function must not map into a multicast BAR aperture in
the destination partition.
–
The PCI Express Base Specification mandates that a requester not issue memory requests
whose address/length combination crosses 4 KB boundaries. To honor this requirement, the
translated base address(es) in the NT function should be programmed such that the twelve lower
bits are set to 0x0.
1.
Note that DMA BAR 0 maps the configuration registers of the DMA to PCI memory space. Still, this restriction
does not imply that it is not possible to configure the DMA function using requests issued by an agent in another
partition. Such an operation is still possible and is accomplished by accessing the DMA configuration registers via
the switch’s global address space. Refer to Chapter 19, Register Organization, for details.
