Notes
Note that the port operating mode changes shown as not supported in Table 5.2 only apply for direct
transitions between the operating modes. Indirect transitions between such operating modes are possible.
For example, the following indirect transition between upstream and downstream port operating modes is
supported:
–
Upstream switch port
Unattached
Downstream switch port
Since an operating mode change may take a significant amount of time to complete (see next section),
status bits are provided to indicate when the change has started and when it has completed.
–
The Operating Mode Change Initiated (OMCI) bit in the Switch Port Status (SWPORTxSTS)
register is set when a mode change begins.
–
The Operating Mode Change Completed (OMCC) bit in the Switch Port Status (SWPORTxSTS)
register is set when a mode change completes.
Once an operating mode change to a port has been initiated, this operating mode change must be
allowed to complete before a new operating mode change is initiated on the same port. Violating this rule
produces undefined results.
Port Operating Mode Change Latency
The latency to complete a port operating mode change depends on the following factors:
–
The reset action on the port, as dictated by the OMA field in the port’s SWPORTxCTL register.
–
The TLP traffic conditions on the port at the time the port operating mode change takes place.
By default, the latency to complete a port operating mode change is set to 2 ms if the port’s OMA field is
set to ‘no action’. If the port’s OMA field is set to ‘reset’, the latency is 2.5 ms.
This latency is large to ensure that TLPs held in the port’s ingress buffers are sent towards their destina-
tion port before the port is migrated across partitions. This assures that after the port is migrated, the port
will not emit TLPs from the old partition into its new partition. Depending on traffic congestion in the system,
TLPs held in the port’s ingress buffer may take from a few nanoseconds to several microseconds before
they are transferred to the egress port’s EFB.
