Definitions of the terms used in
and
are as follows. PCI terms are
noted in parenthesis:
• Inbound Write (PMW) - Data from a write cycle initiated on PCI and targeted at the
internal bus. Note that the address is in a separate transaction queue and is not
referenced.
• Inbound Read Request (DRR-PCI mode and SRR-PCI-X mode) - address information
from a read transactions retried or split on the PCI bus. Mastered on the internal
bus to retrieve data for the Inbound Read Completion.
• Inbound Configuration Write Request - (DWR- PCI mode and SWR - PCI-X mode) -
The address and data associated with a configuration write transaction from PCI
and targeted at the ATU PCI configuration address space. Once completed on the
internal bus, creates an Inbound Configuration Write Completion.
• Outbound Read Completion (SRC) - The data read on PCI in the process of being
returned to the internal bus. This data is the completion cycle that results from an
Outbound Read Request.
• Outbound Write (PMW) - The address and data from a write initiated on the internal
bus and eventually completing on the PCI bus.
• Outbound Read Request (SRR) - The address/command of a split read cycle
initiated on the internal bus. The read data is returned in the Outbound Read
Completion cycle.
• Inbound Read Completion (DRC-PCI mode and SRC-PCI-X mode) - The data read
on the internal bus in the process of being returned to the PCI bus. This data is the
completion cycle for an Inbound Read Request.
• Inbound Configuration Write Completion (DWC-PCI mode and SWC-PCI-X mode) -
The status of an inbound write configuration cycle traveling from the internal bus
back towards the PCI bus.

a. Since the Inbound DWR transaction queue is one-deep, the passing rule associated with DWC vs. DWC is
moot (i.e., NA).
b. Since the Inbound SWR transaction queue is one-deep, the passing rule associated with SWC vs. SWC is
moot (i.e., NA).
c. Outbound Non-posted writes include I/O writes and Configuration writes.
