PCI/X data that is destined for the PCIe fabric are subject to PCIe ordering rules. Data is pulled from
the appropriate queue:
•
Configuration register
•
Upstream posted write buffer
•
Upstream read request queue
•
Upstream read completion buffer
PCI/X transactions that are decoded for the PCIe address space are forwarded to the appropriate queue:
•
Upstream read request queue
•
Upstream posted write buffer
PCI-X read completion (Tsi384 is target), from a split transaction, are also decoded and sent to the
downstream read completion buffer.
Transactions destined for downstream devices on the PCI/X bus, are subject to PCI/X ordering rules.
Data is pulled form the appropriate queue:
•
Downstream posted write buffer
•
Downstream read request queue
PCI-X read completion (Tsi384 is master), from a split transaction, are also ordered and pulled from
the upstream read completion buffer.
PCIe is a serialized protocol at the physical layer, and a packetized protocol at the data link layer. Each
PCIe lane operates at 2.5 Gb symbol rate, or at 2.0 Gb data rate; the difference is a result of the 8/10b
coding process. The Tsi384 uses the following processes to ensure the accurate and timely delivery of
data through the data link layer:
•
Credit-based flow control – Prevents data loss and congestion
•
ACK/noACK protocol and End-to-End CRC (ECRC) – Ensures reliable data delivery if bit errors
occur
•
Replay buffer – Replays packets that are not acknowledged by the receiver (NAK)
In contrast, PCI/X is a parallel data interface at the physical layer. PCI is a non-packetized protocol.
When a bus master starts a read or a write transaction, it indicates only the starting transaction address
to the target, and not the size of the read or write. PCI-X is a also a parallel bus at the physical layer, but
is more accommodating to packetized data flow. For example, the length of a read or write transaction
is defined during the attribute phase on the PCI-X bus.
