S5935 – PCI Product
the management scheme and finishes transferring the
data. The second case is when the S5935 is config-
ured for Add-On initiated bus mastering with transfer
counts disabled. In this situation, the FIFO manage-
ment scheme must be set to request the PCI bus
when one or more locations are full. AMREN and
AMWEN may be used to implement a specific FIFO
management scheme.
FIFO Bus Master Cycle Priority
In many applications, the FIFO is used as a PCI initia-
tor performing both PCI reads and writes. This
requires a priority scheme be implemented. What hap-
pens if the FIFO condition for initiating a PCI read and
a PCI write are both met?
Bits D12 and D8 in the Bus Master Control/Status
Register (MCSR) control the read and write cycle pri-
ority, respectively. If these bits are both set or both
clear, priority alternates, beginning with a read cycle. If
the read priority is set and the write priority is clear,
read cycles take priority. If the write priority is set and
the read priority is clear, write cycles take priority. Pri-
ority arbitration is only done when neither FIFO has
control of the PCI bus (the PCI to Add-On FIFO would
never interrupt an Add-On to PCI FIFO transfer).
FIFO Generated Bus Master Interrupts
Interrupts may be generated under certain conditions
from the FIFO. If PCI initiated bus mastering is used,
INTA# is generated to the PCI interface. If Add-On ini-
tiated bus mastering is used, IRQ# is generated to the
Add-On interface. Interrupts may be disabled.
FIFO Interrupts may be generated from one or more of
the following during bus mastering: read transfer count
reaches zero, write transfer count reaches zero, or an
error occurs during bus mastering. Error conditions
include a target or master abort on the PCI bus. Inter-
rupts on PCI error conditions are only enabled if one or
both of the transfer count interrupts are enabled.
The Add-On Interrupt Control/Status Register (AINT)
or the Interrupt Control Status Register (INTCSR) indi-
cates the interrupt source. The interrupt service
routine may read these registers to determine what
action is required. As mailboxes are also capable of
generating interrupts, this must also be considered in
the service routine. Interrupts are also cleared through
these registers.

BUS INTERFACE
The S5935 FIFO may be accessed from the Add-On
interface or the PCI interface. Add-On FIFO control
and status signals allow a simple interface to the FIFO
with either an Add-On CPU or programmable logic.
The following section describes the PCI and Add-On
interface behavior and hardware interface.
FIFO PCI Interface (Target Mode)
The S5935 FIFO may act as a standard PCI target.
FIFO empty/full status may be determined by the PCI
initiator by reading the status bits in the PCI Bus Mas-
ter Control/Status Register (MCSR).
The FIFO occupies a single 32-bit register location
within the PCI Operation Registers. A PCI initiator
may not perform burst accesses to a FIFO as it is a
single address. Each data phase of a burst causes
the PCI initiator to increment its address counter (even
though only the first address is driven at the beginning
of the burst). The initiator keeps track of the current
address in case a disconnect occurs. This allows the
initiator to continue the burst from where the discon-
nect occurred. If the S5935 FIFO initiated a disconnect
during a PCI burst to the FIFO register, the burst would
be resumed at an address other than the FIFO loca-
tion (because the initiator address counter has
incremented). The S5935 always signals a disconnect
if a burst to any PCI Operation Register is attempted.
Because the PCI to Add-On FIFO and the Add-On to
PCI FIFO occupy a single location within the PCI and
Add-On Operation Registers, which FIFO is accessed
is determined by whether the access is a read or write.
This means that once data is written into the FIFO, the
value written cannot be read back.
For PCI reads from the Add-On to PCI FIFO, the
S5935 asserts TRDY# and completes the PCI cycle
(Figure 3). If the PCI bus attempts to read an empty
FIFO, the S5935 immediately issues a disconnect with
retry (Figure 4). The Add-On to PCI FIFO status indi-
cators change one PCI clock after a PCI read.
For PCI writes to the PCI to Add-On, the S5935
asserts TRDY# and completes the PCI cycle (Figure
5). If the PCI bus attempts to write a full FIFO, the
S5935 immediately issues a disconnect with retry (Fig-
ure 6). The PCI to Add-On FIFO status indicators
change one PCI clock after a PCI write.
