Figure 1.10 Non-Transparent Switch with Non-Transparent Ports
This section outlined several possible switch NTB configurations. The ability to configure ports to
operate in a variety of modes together with support for switch partitioning provides the PES32NT24xG2
with the flexibility required for a wide variety of system applications.
Figure 1.11 illustrates a switch configuration with three transparent switch partitions and four NT port
partitions. In this example, non-transparent communication is supported between all partitions except parti-
tion zero.
Figure 1.11 Non-Transparent Switch with Non-Transparent Ports
The switch’s non-transparent operation is described in detail in Chapter 14.
DMA Operation
The PES32NT24xG2 supports two Direct Memory Access controller (DMA) functions. Each DMA func-
tion appears as a PCI Express endpoint in the PCI Express hierarchy, located in a switch partition’s
upstream port. In each partition, the operating mode of the switch’s upstream port determines if this port
contains a DMA function. The following port operating modes include a DMA function.
–
Upstream switch port with DMA function
–
Upstream switch port with NT and DMA functions
–
NT with DMA function.
There can be at most one DMA function in a PES32NT24xG2 switch partition. Therefore, the
PES32NT24xG2 allows up to two switch partitions to be configured to include a DMA function.
