9、ACR enumeration has three distinct steps: Inventory “Marriage” Configuration,Enumeration Functions Inventory step,Riser related resources on MB are listed in BIOS storage: Chipset controllers (network, audio, ) Motherboard down controllers Each appears as a PCI based controller Components on the ris

11、 Inventory By function,Devices are listed by bus and function Function: Riser, Sound, Modem, HPNA, Ethernet, DSL, Wireless, Cable Modem, Other,Device Inventory ACR Serial Bus,Serial,EEPROM,SMBus/I2C,Host,Controller Or GPIO,ACR,Card,System,Motherboard,Vdd,pullups,Vdd,SCL,SDA,other,devices,Two wire SM

12、Bus 1.0 compliant Serial Data and Clock, no third control signal EPROM at A7 or B0 Use Controller or GPIO,Device Inventory Serial EPROM Data,EPROM data image looks similar to a linked list Data format is variable length,Enumeration Functions “Marriage” step,Mapping of each riser resource to a MB res

13、ource determined by ACR “function number” one function per bus Added requirements may be placed on PCI Vendor ID in EPROM Added requirements may be contained by executable code in EPROM Runtime environment provided by BIOS Complete device = motherboard + riser Will be configured with unique and prop

14、er identities,Enumeration Functions Configuration step,Setup of controller to match riser Vendor and Device ID copied from riser to PCI config space Subsystem Vendor and Subsystem ID copied from riser to PCI config space Optionally, PCI class, PCI latency, and PCI power management can also be copied

15、,Enumeration Functions Configuration step,Controllers are disabled if no riser resource is present Controllers that may not be functional are also disabled Example, AC-97 configuration issues such as primary/secondary clock source conflicts,Net Result Of Enumeration,All special activity is pre-boot,

16、 making it compatible with existing OS Unique Plug and Play IDs are enabled, a combination of motherboard/riser ID BIOS not specific to riser “Marriages” of risers to controllers can be restricted by either “party” Unused components in highly integrated chipset/motherboard pose fewer issues Invisibl

17、e to OS and user,Examples,Useful enumeration pairings: Modem codec works with all generic controllers MAC on motherboard works only if a compatible PHY on riser HPNA PHY works if only one of several compatible controllers on motherboards DSL controller on motherboard works only if specific riser in

18、system If it doesnt work, it doesnt appear in the PCI space to OS,ACR Enumeration Procedure,Procedure,Basic sequence of enumeration events Hardware steps BIOS steps OS steps Driver steps,Hardware And BIOS,Hardware: At power up/reset all PCI config registers are set to their defaults Enable SMBus or

19、GPIO Under BIOS control: Search for ACR EPROM Validate and store EPROM contents Assign the parameters specified in the EPROM, plus its own defaults, to the PCI config space of each controller supported Disable all ACR controllers that do not have devices attached to them Make config space registers

20、read-only,OS And Driver,Under operating system control: Scan the PCI bus and match .INF files to the ID registers in the configuration space Load the appropriate device driver, pointed to by its entry in the INF file Under control of the driver: Query the BIOS for ACR BIOS presence Query the BIOS fo

21、r the default IDs of ACR function controllers Query the BIOS for the enumeration data or read it from the serial bus,Riser Design Goals,Riser should be designed to enumerate in any motherboard EPROM data causes controller to be disabled unless motherboard contains an appropriate controller Risers ca
