Partition State Change via EEPROM
When modifying the state of a partition via the serial EEPROM, the following recommendations and
requirements apply. Prior to modifying the state of a partition, it is required that the following proprietary
timer registers be set to 0x0. This will ensure fast execution of the partition state change action. The last
instructions in the EEPROM must set these timers back to their default values.
–
Side Effect Delay Timer (SEDELAY register)
–
Port Operating Mode Change Drain Delay Timer (POMCDELAY register)
–
Reset Drain Delay Timer (RDRAINDELAY register)
–
Upstream Secondary Bus Reset Delay (USSBRDELAY register)
After initiating a partition change, it is highly recommended that the EEPROM Wait configuration block
(see section Initialization from Serial EEPROM on page 12-3) be embedded in the EEPROM sequence in
order to wait for the SCC bit in the SWPARTxSTS register to be set. By doing so, it is possible to obtain an
indication of partition state change completion prior to proceeding with other state changes to the same
partition.
Switch Ports
A switch port is a logical entity that represents a PCI Express link, stack logic (e.g., physical layer, data
link layer, transaction layer, configuration space for each function in the port, etc.) and TLP queues (i.e.,
port’s ingress and egress buffers) required to communicate on that link. All switch ports are completely
independent. The configuration or state of one switch port in no way affects the operation or restricts the
possible configuration of another port.
Switch Port Mode
A switch port may be configured to operate in one of the following modes.
–
Disabled
–
Unattached
–
Upstream switch port
–
Downstream switch port
–
Upstream switch port with DMA function
–
Upstream switch port with NT function
–
Upstream switch port with NT and DMA functions
–
NT function
–
NT with DMA function
In general, the mode of a port is determined by the Mode (MODE) field in the Switch Port Control
(SWPORTxCTL) register. The only exception is a port that is attached to a partition that is in the disabled
state. A disabled partition causes all attached ports to be placed in a disabled mode regardless of the
MODE field setting.
A port that is disabled or unattached due to the MODE field of the port being set to that mode is not
associated with any switch partition. A port whose MODE field is not set to disabled and that is associated
with a partition in the disabled state is disabled but remains associated to that partition.
