SPI BIOS MAFS Considerations – LPC Enabled
The first four lines in Table 33 above are backwards compatible with the SPI BIOS options described in
COM.0 Rev. 2, except that LPC FWH support is removed in COM.0 Rev 3. The LPC bus is enabled and
is available for use on the Module or the Carrier for peripheral devices such as Board Management
Controllers (BMC), Embedded Controllers (EC), Super I/O (SIO) or other general purpose devices.
SPI BIOS MAFS Considerations – eSPI Enabled
In an eSPI enabled MAFS system, the BIOS flash is attached to the system SPI bus, either on-Module or
off-Module, much as in the LPC enabled MAFS system described above. The eSPI bus replaces the
LPC bus for use with peripheral devices such as BMCs, ECs, SIOs etc. but the BIOS boot path is on the
SPI bus.
eSPI BIOS SAFS Considerations – eSPI Enabled
In an eSPI enabled SAFS system, the SPI boot device is located on the far side of a BMC or EC. The
system can boot from either a Module SAFS ( in Figure 27 above) or a Carrier SAFS ( in Figure 27
above). The BIOS boot traffic is routed through the BMC or EC to the system eSPI bus and on to the
chipset.
It is possible for both a Module and a Carrier SAFS to be present in a system, but only one can be
enabled. This is accomplished by routing the ESPI_CS0# signal to the Module or the Carrier, but never
both. This is by definition of the eSPI specification. A second ESPI_CS1# is available to select eSPI
slave devices. Slave devices can be on the Module or the Carrier.
Two eSPI alert pins are provided. Additional alert pins are permitted by the eSPI specification through
alert pin sharing on the EC/BMC or by signal tunneling.
