Though the present invention is obedient to various changes and alternative forms, also will describe in detail it yet show its particular form with way of example in the accompanying drawings.Yet should be appreciated that and be not intended to the present invention is restricted to described specific embodiment.On the contrary, be intended to cover that the institute that falls in the defined scope of the invention of claims changes, equivalent and alternative means.
The present invention is considered to be applicable to various circuit and the method that relates to electronic communication, and is particularly useful for those and relates to the circuit and the method for communicating by letter between the endpoint type device of shared link being coupled to.Though the present invention is not necessarily limited to this application, yet can obtain correct evaluation best to various aspects of the present invention by discussing example in this environment.
According to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a kind of communication facilities comprises communication link, described communication link has and is suitable for using communication marks (or similar) field to transmit at least two endpoint type devices that (for example, via the tag field that writes data of being dropped) transmits information via communication link.Communication link for example can comprise PCI Express bus, switch and/or other assembly.Utilize the method, can realize tag field communication, utilize other communication (promptly needn't require or not allow to use the communication of described tag field) to make the transmission of selected information be convenient to carry out simultaneously.
In an implementation, said method utilizes PCI Express equipment to realize.Tag field is returned by requester function (Requester function) identification and by finishing device function (Completer function), and in some cases, wherein requester function relates to and do not require that dropping of finishing writes.Requester function realizes that by requester (being used for sequence or logical transition are incorporated into the logical unit in PCI Express territory) the described request device has been realized request or grouping.Finish the device function and realize by finishing device (by the logical unit of requester addressing), the described device of finishing is finished or is divided into groups in response to asking to produce, and termination or part terminator sequence.In the PCI Express that determines uses, wherein finish device to the data in the tag field and insensitive (promptly finish the device function and do not handle described tag field), requester function is used described tag field according to any way, such as being used for the signaling synchronous event.
For about as in conjunction with the more information of the above-mentioned functions that application realized of " adapting " (and other function here) with PCI Express, can be with reference to can be from Oregon, " the PCI Express BaseSpecification Revision 1.0a " that obtains among the PCI-SIG of Portland (PCI special interest groups), in April, 2003.The PCI Express basic norm method that adapts can be considered to " adapting with PCI Express " therewith.
Turn to accompanying drawing now, Fig. 1 shows the communication system 100 of PCIExpress type according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and it is implemented to use the tag field that writes grouping of being dropped to come the transmitting synchronous incident.Though utilize the method for PCI Express type to illustrate and discuss, yet communication system 100 can use other communication type and agreement to realize, no matter be same as PCI Express and be different from PCI Express.
Communication system 100 comprises PCI Express switch 110, is suitable at main frame 105 and comprises and transmit communication between a plurality of end-point devices of end-point devices 150 and 152.Main frame 105 (for example, the link of CPU, based on network chipset, host bridge or another PCI Express type) port one 20 Data transmission and receive data from upstream port 120 upstream, described upstream port 120 is coupled to virtual (for example realizing with software) PCI Express bus 130.The a plurality of downstream ports that comprise downstream port 140,142,144 and 146 also are coupled to Virtual PC I Express bus 130, and each downstream port all is suitable for receiving data to PCI Express end-point devices Data transmission and from PCI Express end-point devices.
Each end- point devices 150 and 152 is configured to use the tag field of being transmitted on virtual bus 130 that writes grouping of dropping to transmit synchronous event information.For example, when end-point devices 150 transmits information via virtual bus 130 with block form, can utilize the data relevant that tag field in the packet partial is set with synchronous event.Information in end-point devices 152 described groupings of analysis and the usage flag field is determined synchronous event information then.
In an implementation, end-point devices 150 is served as requester dropping to write in the data, and the request that writes is posted to Virtual PC I Express bus 130 with block form.This writes request and is included in " in the mark (tag the in) " signal (for example, one or more bits) that writes in the request header, warns the synchronous event situation to the recipient who writes request.Mark in the data is set up when synchronous event is " very " and works as synchronous event and is not removed (or not being provided with) for true time.
The mark that is used for analyzing end-point devices (for example end-point devices 152) the use data of the request that writes of being dropped identifies synchronous event and adopts suitably to move the sync event signal from end-point devices 150 is responded.Here this end-point devices is served as not and to be finished apparatus (promptly comprise the request of tag field signaling and do not require and finish) to what end-point devices 150 responded.
In some implementation, that is planned drops the recipient that the recipient who writes data needs not to be the sync event signal of being planned.In this, the other end point apparatus of finishing apparatus 152 and/or being coupled to one of downstream port 140-146 can be handled synchronous event data, and different endpoint device processes is dropped the other parts that write data simultaneously.
In another implementation, use adapter to create grouping so that on Virtual PC I Express bus 130, send in response to the request of each end-point devices is next.Each adapter for example can in conjunction be used to produce drop the PCI Express end-point devices that writes or realize at PCIExpress switch 110 places.Each adapter has input and corresponding output (for example, individual bit or reach the extended bit of about 8 bit widths), is used for providing sync event signal in tag field.
In an implementation, the following sync event signal that provides is provided for adapter and input and output signal one.Utilize adapter (for example, dynamic termination logic (dynamictermination logic DTL) target interface) to come at input interface by the address sampled input signal.This input signal (for example, one or more bits) is driven into the highest significant position of tag field in the stem of memory writer command.Provide the address at interface (for example, DTL promoter interface) to output signal (for example, one or more bits) corresponding to input signal.The highest significant position (bit 7 of byte 6) that is used for the tag field that storer writes drives this output signal from the stem of all memory writer commands according to the timing consistent with storage address output timing.Output signal is zero for all other cycles (promptly wherein not carrying out the cycle of signaling synchronous event) and has only when the address and export when effective just effectively.
In some implementation, when PCI Express assembly that is connected to non-user and/or system, forbid synchronous signaling.For example have when dissimilar when end- point devices 150 and 152, wherein utilize non-user's PCI Express assembly and/or system to realize end-point devices 152, forbid signaling from end-point devices 150.This forbids for example using switch or gate type approach to realize.In addition as mentioned above, the method can utilize the manufacturer of compatible end-point devices to use the synchronous event signaling to realize in conjunction with selectivity.
Above-mentionedly can realize for various application and according to variety of way in conjunction with the method for Fig. 1 and other method here.For example, in a further exemplary embodiment, the tag field that writes data of dropping in PCI Express equipment is implemented and defines, thus require to finish each do not finish affairs (requiring the operation of not dropping of response) and have unique mark.These uncompleted affairs are not implemented to transmit synchronous event data in tag field, and adapt with communicating by letter of PCI Express type.When utilizing 8 bit data field to realize, read operation uses four least significant bit (LSB)s (LSB) rather than with four MSB, and utilization " 0 " value realizes in view of the above.Completion logic is configured to ignore the tag field that writes of dropping, and described tag field is being implemented the communication that is used for PCI Express type as mentioned above in typical case.In this, tag field is implemented to utilize drop and writes data (promptly not requiring the data of finishing) and carry out synchronous event communication.
The length of tag field is suitable for specific application, wherein uses PCI Express equipment and further realizes according to available bit.For example, in many PCIExpress implementations, keep 5 bits in typical case for tag field.In other implementation, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, realize tag field (for example when enabling extending marking) with 8 or more bits.
In a further exemplary embodiment, incorporation of markings field sync method is used the JetStream PCI Express core that can obtain from the Perle system of the Nashville of Tennessee State.When realizing the JetStream core, for the cycle that requires to finish, do not use highest significant position (MSB), and whole 8 bit fields are fixed to complete zero so that write.Optionally, realize this 8 bit field for the synchronous event signaling.Can come further differently to realize the method for the different PCI Express of dealer core types.
In more specific exemplary embodiment, be implemented as the type of device that the end-point devices of utilizing tag field to carry out the synchronous event signaling is configured to the incident signaling is restricted to selection.For example when synchronous event will be received by the device that satisfies the particular manufacturer criterion by signaling, code or other recognition methods were implemented to guarantee that the end-point devices that receives sync event signal satisfies described criterion (for example, being made by specific manufacturer).After having satisfied described criterion, code or other recognition methods sign enables the synchronous event signaling.For example when the synchronous event signaling will be carried out for two PCI Express end-point devices with co-manufactured merchant, after having identical manufacturer, definite another PCI Express end-point devices makes a PCI Express end-point devices signaling.
For example use adapter that signal in the mark (for example individual bit or a plurality of bit) is added to tag field, described adapter places the communication stem to described marking signal.When ' synchronous event ' is true time, for example write or frame-synchronizing impulse is a true time when last, signal in this mark is set, optionally identical with any address wire basically mode realizes timing.When realizing synchronous event, outer (tag out) signal (for example, individual bit or a plurality of bit) of mark adds the tag field of communication to so that remove synchronous event information from the added communications that realizes via adapter.Can realize the mark external signal according to the mode that is similar to signal in the above-mentioned realization mark.For example, can use adapter to come from the tag field of stem, to obtain bit, thereby provide and the address output identical time of timing to new signal according to the mode that is similar to from stem extraction address bit.
Fig. 2 shows the process flow diagram that is used for the synchronous event signaling according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.At piece 210, write data so that post to PCI Express communication link in PCI Express end-point devices generation.If at piece 220 synchronous events is movable, at piece 230 tag field header that writes data is set so, to show the activity nature of described synchronous event.At piece 240, utilize sync event signal (for example, being used to represent the data of synchronous event) to drop and write data such as " very " bit.If at piece 220 synchronous events is not movable, write data not having under the situation of sync event signal to drop so as an alternative at piece 225.
Drop at piece 250 and to write data accessed (for example, at another PCI Express end-point devices receive).Write data and have sync event signal if drop at piece 260, it is utilized sync event signal and handles at piece 270 so.Write data and do not have sync event signal if drop at piece 260, it is at piece 280 processed (not considering synchronously) so.In some cases, for example when specific synchronous event is applicable to PCI Express end-point devices, handle sync event signal not handling to write under the data conditions, wherein said PCI Express end-point devices may not be that other of being planned dropped the recipient who writes data.
Here the method for being discussed can utilize the equipment and the method for various PCI Express types to realize.In some implementation, the protocol-compliant of the method and PCI Express type, consider for this reason and do not require that the request of finishing (request of dropping), the value in the tag field are not defined and can comprise any value (referring to above-cited PCI Express basic norm revised edition 1.0a).The method further with PCI Express protocol-compliant, described agreement shows that for the request of being dropped the value in the tag field must be able to not influence the processing of receiver to described request; Thereby the market bit of non-zero is legal.In addition, can realize that the method so that tag field do not influence receiver to processing of request.
Only provide each embodiment also illustrated in the accompanying drawings as mentioned above and it should be construed as limiting the invention with exemplary forms.According to above-mentioned argumentation and example, those skilled in the art easily recognize and can carry out various modifications and change to the present invention illustrated in not strictly observing here and under the situation of exemplary embodiment of describing and application.For example, the data except that the synchronous event categorical data can be modified to and use similar approach to transmit.In addition, one or more above-mentioned exemplary embodiments and implementation can utilize various PCIExpress devices and other method to realize, comprise chip and printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB).Above-mentioned exemplary embodiment and implementation can also be integrated with various circuit, device, system and method, comprise those circuit, device, the system and method that use in conjunction with memory storage, display, internet and mobile communication.In addition, each embodiment that is discussed in PCI and PCI Express type application scope can use various devices and communication means to realize, comprises device and communication means that those needn't be applicable to PCI or PCI Express.These methods have been realized in conjunction with each exemplary embodiment of the present invention.This modifications and variations do not break away from below illustrated true spirit of the present invention and scope in the claim.
