PCI Target Operation

PCI Compiler User Guide
A PCI read operation handled by the non-prefetchable bridge data path
has the following sequence of events:
1.
2.
3.
4.
While the PCI-Avalon is processing the non-prefetchable read, all
transactions are retried and not remembered.
Due to the required ordering rules, if there is a pending write transaction
in the opposite direction (Avalon-to-PCI), the non-prefetchable read
operation’s completion phase will be delayed. In other words, if a write
operation (flowing in the opposite direction of the current read operation)
is in the Avalon bridge first, the PCI-Avalon bridge will not complete the
read operation until the write operation completes.
If the non-prefetchable read latency timer expires before the read
transaction is complete, the non-prefetchable read transaction’s data is
discarded. The non-prefetchable read latency counter is set to 32,768
clocks.
In the request phase, the PCI bus issues a read transactions that
matches one of the BARs. The PCI-Avalon bridge claims the
transaction, stores its address, command and byte enables, and
issues a retry. The PCI-Avalon bridge claims transactions only if
there are no other transactions pending in the non-prefetchable data
path.
The PCI-Avalon bridge translates the PCI address to Avalon-MM
and passes the transaction to the non-prefetchable Avalon-MM
master port, which issues the transaction to the interconnect.
The data retrieved from Avalon is stored in a read response register
inside the PCI-Avalon bridge. The PCI-Avalon bridge will then wait
for the PCI bus to issue the same read transaction.
Finally, during the completion phase, the PCI bus issues the same
read transaction with exactly the same address, command and byte
enables, and then the PCI-Avalon bridge transfers the data, which
signals the end of the non-prefetchable read operation.
