Notes
• NT with DMA function
–
A downstream switch port is a port configured to operate in downstream switch port mode and
attached to a partition.
–
An upstream switch port is an upstream port with a PCI-to-PCI bridge function (i.e., a port in
upstream switch port mode, upstream switch port with DMA function mode, upstream switch port
with NT function mode, or upstream switch port with NT and DMA functions mode).
–
An NT endpoint port is a port configured to operate in NT function mode or NT with DMA function
mode, and attached to a partition.
A port in one of the following modes is considered a multi-function port:
–
Upstream switch port with DMA function
–
Upstream switch port with NT function
–
Upstream switch port with NT and DMA functions
–
NT with DMA function
Multi-function ports follow the rules for multi-function devices outlined in the PCI Express Base Specifi-
cation Revision 2.1.
Partition Configuration
The following list represents valid switch partition configurations. The behavior of all other configurations
is undefined.
–
A switch partition with no associated ports
–
A switch partition with one upstream switch port and one or more downstream switch ports
–
A switch partition with no upstream port and one or more downstream switch ports
–
A switch partition with an NT endpoint port
Note the following:
–
The Upstream Port (US) bit is set in the Switch Partition Status (SWPARTxSTS) register when
there is an upstream port associated with the partition.
–
When the US bit is set in the SWPARTxSTS register, the Upstream Port ID (USID) field contains
the port ID of the upstream port of the partition.
A switch partition with no associated ports represents a logical entity. The state and configuration of
such a partition has no functional effect on the operation of the device. A switch partition with one upstream
switch port and one or more downstream switch ports represents a PCI Express switch configuration. Such
a configuration operates as a standard PCI Express switch using the associated ports.
–
The NT and DMA functions in the upstream switch port, if present, operate independently from the
PCI Express switch, but participate in the rules outlined in the PCI Express Base Specification for
multi-function devices (i.e., when the NT or DMA functions are present in the upstream switch port,
the port is a multi-function device).
A switch partition with one upstream switch port and no downstream switch ports has the following
behavior.
–
All requests that target the port’s PCI-to-PCI bridge function, except configuration requests, are
treated as unsupported requests.
–
All requests that target the port’s NT or DMA functions (if present per the port’s operating mode),
are handled per the function’s determination.
• The request may be accepted or rejected (i.e., unsupported request) depending on the config-
uration of the function at the time the request is received.
–
All received completions that target the port’s PCI-to-PCI bridge function are treated as unex-
pected completions.
–
All received completions that target the port’s NT or DMA functions (if present per the port’s oper-
ating mode), are handled per the function’s determination.
