Fig. 2 is the pie graph that expression relates to the computer system of a kind of example of the present invention.
This computer system is the personal computer of notebook type, it is by basic computer 100, and be connected to cable and be used to carry out the expansion unit 200 that function expands on this basic computer 100 and constitute, connect in order to carry out this cable, it possesses the PCI-PCI bridge 300 that single in logic controller is divided into 2 controllers (P-PCI bridge 300a, S-PCI bridge 300b) physically.
These 2 controllers (P-PCI bridge 300a, S-PCI bridge 300b) will become the bus of using the communication protocol different with pci bus and connect, and to semble from software be 1 PCI Biodge device.Therefore, be used for this PCI-PCI bridge 300 can not distributed to P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b respectively as the configuration cycle of the working environment setting of object etc.So Biodge device of the present invention is characterised in that suitably and the configuration register of the environment set information set in this of managed storage effectively configuration cycle, will narrates below about this point.
In basic computer 100, processor bus 1 and pci bus (main) 2 is installed, and the P-PCI bridge 300a of CPU111, master-PCI bridge 12, primary memory 13, various PCI equipment 14 and PCI-PCI bridge 300 is installed.
CPU11 is the equipment that is used to control this computing machine whole system operation, and carries out operating system and the system bios that is loaded into primary memory, perhaps, comprises the various application programs of utility routine.
Master-PCI bridge 12 is Biodge devices of two-way connection processing device bus 1 and pci bus (main) 2, and wherein interior dress is used to control the store control logic circuit of visit primary memory.In addition, this master-PCI bridge 12 can be used as the bus master controller on the pci bus (main) 2.
Primary memory 13 storage operating systems and BIOS perhaps, comprise the various application programs of utility routine and various user data etc.
P-PCI bridge 300a and the S-PCI bridge 300b that is arranged in the expansion unit 200 are formed in logic independently PCI-PCI bridge 300 jointly.This PCI-PCI bridge 300 is to be used for the equipment that two-wire connects the pci bus (auxiliary) 3 in interior pci bus (main) 2 of basic computer and the expansion unit 200, and the PCI equipment 17 that the PCI equipment 14 on the pci bus (main) 2 is visited on the pci buss (auxiliary) 3, and the PCI equipment 14 on the 17 visit pci buss (main) 2 of the PCI equipment on the pci bus (auxiliary) 3 becomes possibility.
In addition, in this example, be divided into 2 physically different controllers (P-PCI bridge 300a, S-PCI bridge 300b) by the PCI-PCI bridge 300 that will connect pci bus (main) 2 and pci bus (auxiliary) 3, and connect them with the serial transmission circuit, realize the PCI serial line interface.
In addition, in the PCI-PCI of this example bridge 300, these 2 controllers (P-PCI bridge 300a, S-PCI bridge 300b) possesses the configuration register of environment set information that storage is used for the working environment of regulation PCI-PCI bridge 300 respectively, and, according to the visit of selection signal (PRSEL) control that gives from the outside to configuration register.
The function that Fig. 3 illustrates the PCI-PCI bridge of being made up of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b 300 constitutes.
As previously mentioned, P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b are controllers independently physically, but logically work as 1 PCI-PCI bridge.Therefore, the cable (serial transmission circuit) that connects this P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b in view of the above, can not carry out the useless resources allocation to this serial transmission circuit nothing but inner distribution.
In addition, each of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b is made of PCI-interface section and serial transmission interface part.
In P-PCI bridge 300a, send between pci interface part and the pci bus (main) 2 and receive bus transaction.On the other hand, in S-PCI bridge 300b, send between pci interface part and the pci bus (auxiliary) 3 and receive bus transaction.The transmission of the affairs between the pci interface receives to be undertaken by the sending of serial data that is separately positioned between the serial transfer interface section among P-PCI bridge 300a and the S-PCI bridge 300b.
And, the configuration register 304a that the register group by foundation PCI specification constitutes is set, 304b respectively in the PCI-interface section of this P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b.
Herein, the configuration register storage is used for the environment set information of the working environment of regulation PCI equipment (comprising P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b), in each PCI equipment 1 configuration register must be set.In addition, as previously mentioned, P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b should be as 300 work of 1 PCI-PCI bridge.Therefore, usually, in any 1 bridge of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b, 1 configuration register can be set.But, if only the side at 2 controllers is provided with configuration register, in the opposing party's controller, just will inevitably produce so via the serial transmission circuit continually with reference to the configuration register that is arranged in the other side's the controller, thereby reduce system performance significantly.Therefore, as this example, by in P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b, configuration register being set respectively, owing to can carry out work according to the environment set information in the configuration register that is stored in itself separately, therefore, just can not reduce system performance yet.For example, when the side in pci bus (auxiliary) 3 has the address visiting demand fixed to, and, produced occasion at S-PCI bridge 300b for judging this requirement with reference to necessity of register, also make correspondence become possibility by reference configuration register 304b.
Have again, this P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b are same structures, by according to the visit of the selection signal (PRSEL) that gives from outside control to configuration register, each controller will become, even can both work as either party of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b.
Herein, CPU11 considers in order to have write data allocations in the configuration register of PCI-PCI bridge 300 and writes affairs (configuration cycle).
At this moment, received this P-PCI bridge 300a that writes affairs and must at first data have been write the configuration register 304a of itself, secondly, also data have been write the configuration register 304b of S-PCI bridge 300b, and this is write affairs be sent to S-PCI bridge 300b.Then, expression writes the state that is over after S-PCI bridge 300b returns, and expression is write the state that is over turn back to CPU11.The homogeneity that therefore, can keep the content of configuration register 304a and configuration register 304b.
But, even just be used for data write PCI-PCI bridge 300 configuration register write affairs, also the affairs of writing that will be used to write related data by P-PCI bridge 300a are sent to S-PCI bridge 300b, also reduce system performance.Therefore, in this example, when each controller is worked as P-PCI bridge 300a, judge whether be necessary that this is write affairs is sent to S-PCI bridge 300b from the content of writing affairs, do not transmit in case of necessity if judged, just data are write successively the configuration register 304a of itself, existing side by side is about to represent that writing the state that is over turns back to CPU11.Thus, prevent the decline of system performance more.
Secondly, considering that CPU11 divides to be used in data are write writes the affairs occasion of (configuration cycle) in the configuration register of PCI equipment 17.
Because this is write affairs and will be directly connected to the configuration cycle of the equipment of pci bus (auxiliary) 3 as object, therefore, must on pci bus (main) 2, carry out according to the PCI rule with Class1, on pci bus (auxiliary) 3, carry out with type 0.Promptly in PCI-PCI bridge 300, produce necessity that conversion should configuration cycle.
As previously mentioned, this PCI-PCI bridge 300 is made of 2 controllers of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b.Therefore, the conversion of this configuration cycle is necessary to be undertaken by the predetermined side of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b.In addition, in this example, according to the selection signal (PRSEL) that gives from the outside, each controller has or not the conversion of carrying out configuration cycle by judgement, and the result has only a certain side of 2 controllers to carry out the conversion of configuration cycle.Moreover the conversion which side of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b to carry out configuration cycle by just designs the problem of item, and which side can.
In addition, when the PCI-PCI bridge is connected to pci bus (auxiliary) 3 once more, and when having the pci bus that interconnects by this PCI-PCI bridge and pci bus (auxiliary) 3, and taking place to be directly connected to the occasion of the equipment of this undermost pci bus as the configuration cycle of object, because the result also carries out with Class1 on pci bus (auxiliary) 3, therefore, either party of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b there is no need the conversion in the cycle that is configured.
Secondly, illustrate that with reference to Fig. 4 the inside of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b constitutes.Moreover because the formation of P-PCI bridge 300a and S-PCI bridge 300b is identical basically, therefore, this sentences P-PCI bridge 300a is that example describes.
P-PCI bridge 300a cushions ﹠amp by pci bus controll block 301, pci bus arbiter piece 302, cycle decode block 303, configuration register block 304a, affairs as shown in the figure; Controll block 305, Kuai ﹠amp; Word buffer stopper 306, block transfer buffer stopper 307, word buffer stopper 308, position layer piece 309, Misc information updating piece 310 and serial are interrupted synchronization blocks 311 and are constituted.And above-mentioned selection signal (PRSEL) is supplied with cycle decode block 303 and configuration register block 304a.
Pci bus controll block 301 is used to control pci bus interface as pci bus master device and target (target), and possesses primary controller execution time timer (MLT).
Pci bus arbiter piece 302 is to be used for the moderator that carries out the arbitration of pci bus master device on pci bus (auxiliary) 3.
When cycle decode block 303 is worked in the pci bus target, hit judgement after pci cycle classification and address deciphered.And, in the occasion of working as P-PCI bridge 300a according to described selection signal (PRSEL), about with the configuration cycle of PCI-PCI bridge 300 as object, the cycle decode block will be judged the necessity that S-PCI bridge 303b is transmitted, if do not need, just do not transmit, and will turn back to pci bus controll block 301 replying of CPU11.In addition, this cycle decode block 303 will be carried out affairs buffering ﹠amp; The cycle enabling signal of controll block 305 and to the generation of the hiting signal of pci bus controll block 301.
Configuration register block 304a is that storage is used for the so-called PCI configuration register of regulation as the environment set information of the working environment of the P-PCI bridge 300a of PCI equipment also as shown in Figure 3.In this configuration register block 304a, also import described selection signal (PRSEL) in advance, when when working and as S-PCI bridge 300b, working as P-PCI bridge 300a, configuration register block 304a according to this signal value control transformation working environment information with reference to the address.Like this, just can accomplish that as P-PCI bridge 300a and A-PCI bridge 300b any one can both work, and the conversion of described configuration cycle can be carried out suitably also.
Affairs buffering ﹠amp; Controll block 305 is impact dampers that pci bus cycle is managed as affairs, and carries out the control of data handing-over between piece transmit buffering piece 307 and pci bus controll block 301.
Kuai ﹠amp; Word buffer stopper 306 is that 2 pieces of piece transmit buffering piece 307 and word buffer stopper 308 should to be concentrated for simplicity be 1 piece, and piece transmit buffering piece 307 is to be used for temporarily being stored in and affairs buffering ﹠amp; Send the impact damper of the data that receive between controll block 305 or the word buffer stopper 308.In addition, as impact damper, have (OEB/IEB) that write back (postwrite) usefulness respectively independently, write (OBB/IBB) impact damper used of affairs beyond the back.OEB/OBB among the figure is the impact damper that sends usefulness, and IEB/IBB is the impact damper that receives usefulness.The impact damper with receiving usefulness of this transmission usefulness uses the clock with receiving usefulness of the asynchronous transmission usefulness that generates among the on the throne layer of PLL in the piece 309 to carry out work respectively.Owing to do not use pci clock, so, with more the piece on upper strata is asynchronous at piece transmit buffering piece 307.In addition, this Kuai ﹠amp; Word buffer stopper 306 also test and generate, the control of the error-detecting on universal serial bus and retransmission process etc.
On the other hand, word buffer stopper 308 be used for temporary transient storage be used for and position layer piece 309 between transmit impact damper one by one from the data of the regular length of piece transmit buffering piece 307.OWB among the figure is the impact damper that sends usefulness, and IWB is the impact damper that receives usefulness, and they use the clock asynchronous transmission usefulness and that receive usefulness that generates among the on the throne layer of PLL in the piece 309 to carry out work respectively.
Layer piece 309 in position will be divided into 2 parts from the data of the regular length of word buffer stopper 308, and carry out serial communication as the serial data of 2 systems, send a side and walk abreast → serial converted, receive a side and carry out serial → parallel transformation.In addition, this layer piece 309 has PLL respectively and is used for sending, receiving, and the PLL that sends usefulness is according to PLCLK input carrying out work (9 times), and the PLL that receives usefulness is according to LVDC-I (LVDS serial received clock) input carrying out work.Moreover LVDC-O (LVDS serial tranmitting data register) output is imported the output with same frequency with PLCLK.
Misc information updating piece 310 is the pieces that are used for the look-at-me of pci bus (INT[A: D] #) is carried out as Misc information operational processes.And it is the synoptic diagram that are used to handle INTEL mode serial interruption and LEGACY signal that synchronization blocks 311 is interrupted in serial.
According to having above such formation, as shown in the figure, will be suitably and control to configuration register 304a 3 kinds of visits of 304b effectively.
(1) to connect pci bus (main) 2, only from the visit of the main control associated registers (r1) that can visit of basic computer 100 1 sides.
(2) to connect pci bus (auxiliary) 3, only from the visit of the auxiliary control associated registers (r2) that can visit of basic computer 100 1 sides.
(3) to by main, auxiliary bus both sides shared, only from the shared register that can visit (r3, visit r4) of basic computer 100 1 sides.
Thus, just can be suitably and manage effectively in 2 physically different controllers separately, be set up, storage is used for the configuration register of environment set information of the working environment of this device of regulation.
The invention is not restricted to above-mentioned example, in the scope of its main spirit, can carry out all distortion back and implement.
As previously discussed, according to Biodge device of the present invention, after in 2 physically different controllers separately, configuration register being set, because therefore a side controller need can not prevent to reduce significantly system performance via the configuration register of serial transmission circuit with reference to the opposing party's controller.
In addition, after the visit of selection signal controlling that each controller gives by the outside to configuration register, owing to can both work, therefore use same structure can be suitable for a basic side and secondary side both sides as any one of a basic side (main) and a secondary side (auxiliary).
And, as the work of a basic side time,, further prevent the decline of system performance by judging the controller that whether this accessing work should be sent to the opposing party's a secondary side from content to the accessing work of the configuration register that received.
