Chapter 8: PCI/G-Bus Bridge
TX7901 User’s Manual (Rev. 6.30T – Nov, 2001)
8-7
8.2.2.2 “Retry”
Phase
The PGB records the address of the current cycle along with the word count and goes into a
delayed read state. The Bridge ignores new read or write transactions from the G-Bus side
by issuing Retries. When the read is finished on the PCI side, the PGB waits for the G-Bus
Master to re-issue the Delayed Read transaction on the G-Bus (Address and word count
compare) and completes the transaction at that time. An “Orphaned Read” results if the G-
Bus Master that initiated the Delayed Read does not return to complete the read. The PGB
reports orphaned reads by posting an interrupt after a timeout period equal to 2
16
clocks.
The PGB causes a G-Bus timeout on all PCI errors (parity or fatal) that happen during this
phase. To do this, the PGB issues a retry to all cycles with any address not equal to the
failed address, and then causes a timeout for the next request to the failed address.
The PGB will flush any posted writes from the G-Bus to PCI before performing any read
from a PCI slave. This is performed by first posting a retry to G-Bus Master read requests
and then completing the posted write.
