MEMORY WRITE TRANSACTIONS
Posted write forwarding is used for “Memory Write” and “Memory Write and Invalidate”
transactions.
When PI7C8154A determines that a memory write transaction is to be forwarded across the bridge,
PI7C8154A asserts DEVSEL# with medium decode timing and TRDY# in the next cycle, provided
that enough buffer space is available in the posted memory write queue for the address and at least
one DWORD of data. Under this condition, PI7C8154A accepts write data without obtaining
access to the target bus. The PI7C8154A can accept one DWORD of write data every PCI clock
cycle. That is, no target wait state is inserted. The write data is stored in an internal posted write
buffers and is subsequently delivered to the target. The PI7C8154A continues to accept write data
until one of the following events occurs:
!
!
!
When one of the last two events occurs, the PI7C8154A returns a target disconnect to the
requesting initiator on this data phase to terminate the transaction.
Once the posted write data moves to the head of the posted data queue, PI7C8154A asserts its
request on the target bus. This can occur while PI7C8154A is still receiving data on the initiator
bus. When the grant for the target bus is received and the target bus is detected in the idle
condition, PI7C8154A asserts FRAME# and drives the stored write address out on the target bus.
On the following cycle, PI7C8154A drives the first DWORD of write data and continues to transfer
write data until all write data corresponding to that transaction is delivered, or until a target
termination is received. As long as write data exists in the queue, PI7C8154A can drive one
DWORD of write data in each PCI clock cycle; that is, no master wait states are inserted. If write
data is flowing through PI7C8154A and the initiator stalls, PI7C8154A will signal the last data
phase for the current transaction at the target bus if the queue empties. PI7C8154A will restart the
follow-on transactions if the queue has new data.
PI7C8154A ends the transaction on the target bus when one of the following conditions is met:

Section 2.11.3.2 provides detailed information about how PI7C8154A responds to target
termination during posted write transactions.
MEMORY WRITE AND INVALIDATE
Posted write forwarding is used for Memory Write and Invalidate transactions.
The initiator terminates the transaction by de-asserting FRAME# and IRDY#.
An internal write address boundary is reached, such as a cache line boundary or an aligned
4KB boundary, depending on the transaction type.
The posted write data buffer fills up.
All posted write data has been delivered to the target.
The target returns a target disconnect or target retry (PI7C8154A starts another transaction to
deliver the rest of the write data).
The target returns a target abort (PI7C8154A discards remaining write data).
The master latency timer expires, and PI7C8154A no longer has the target bus grant
(PI7C8154A starts another transaction to deliver remaining write data).
