Notes
An Assert_INTx message is sent to the root by the upstream port (i.e., port 0), when the aggregated
state of the corresponding interrupt in the upstream port transitions from a negated to an asserted state. A
Deassert_INTx message is sent to the root by the upstream port when the aggregated state of the corre-
sponding interrupt in the upstream port transitions from an asserted to a negated state.
PCI to PCI bridges must map interrupts on the secondary side of the bridge according to the device
number of the device on the secondary side of the bridge. No mapping is performed for the PCI to PCI
bridges corresponding to downstream ports as these ports only connect to device zero. A mapping is
performed for the upstream port (i.e., port 0). This mapping for the PES24N3A is summarized in Table 3.8.
If a Downstream Port goes to DL_Down status, the INTx virtual wires associated with that port are
negated, and the upstream port’s aggregate sate is updated accordingly. This may result in the upstream
port generating a Deassert_Intx message.
Standard PCIe Error Detection and Handling
This section describes standard PCIe error detection and handling as prescribed by the PCIe base 1.1
specification.
Physical Layer Errors
Table 3.9 lists error checks performed by the physical layer and action taken when an error is detected.
Data Link Layer Errors
Table 3.10 lists error checks performed by the data link layer and action taken when an error is detected.
