Switch Partitioning via serial EEPROM
Goal
Configure switch partitions via the serial EEPROM (i.e., during switch fundamental reset).
Assumptions
–
PES16NT8BG2 switch device.
–
Two partitions will be created:
• Partition 0 has ports 0, 8, and 10.
• Partition 1 has ports 12, 16, and 18.
–
Ports 0 and 12 are upstream, x4 each.
–
Ports 8, 10, 16, and 18 are downstream, x2 each.
–
The system board has a hardware fundamental reset signal connected to partitions 0 and 1, using
switch’s GPIO alternate function pins.
–
The stacks are configured at boot-time using the STKxCFG pins to achieve the above link widths.
–
The switch boots in switch mode “Multi-partition with Disabled ports and Serial EEPROM initial-
ization”.
Figure 26.3 shows the final configuration.

Description
As dictated by the switch mode, all ports and partitions are initially disabled. To meet PCI Express
conventional reset requirements, serial EEPROM configuration completes within 1 second after the de-
assertion of fundamental reset. The guidelines regarding partition configuration via Serial EEPROM
(section Port Operating Mode Change via EEPROM on page 5-15) should be followed. The serial
EEPROM instruction sequence performs the steps listed below.
1. The GPIO pins 0 and 1 are configured for alternate function 0 operation (i.e., PARTxPERSTN reset
input). These pins provide an external hardware control to reset the switch partitions.These pins
may be asserted by the platform to do a fundamental reset on the corresponding switch partition
and other devices in the same PCI Express hierarchy (e.g., root complex, endpoints).
The PARTxPERSTN pins are free to be asserted and de-asserted by the platform while the follow-
