The actual existence of architecture is generally invisible to the user and the system programmer. National Semiconductor Core BIOS software provides all GeodeLink initialization and support, including related Model Specific Registers (MSRs). Additionally, this soft- ware provides a Virtual PCI Configuration Space that abstracts the architecture to industry standard interfaces. From this interface, all GeodeLink devices appear in one PCI multi-function configuration space header on the exter- nal PCI bus. 3.1.1 Introduction This component is based on the GeodeLink packet archi- tecture. It consists of a set of GeodeLink Devices (GLDs) and a GeodeLink Control Processor (GLCP) connected through the GeodeLink Interface Unit (GLIU). A simplified view of a GLIU connected with three generic GLDs is illustrated in Figure 3-1. The following points are relevant: • All outputs from a GLD to the GLIU are registered. • All outputs from the GLIU to a GLD are registered. Furthermore, there are dedicated output registers for each GLD. • GLD inputs from the GLIU need not be registered but they are buffered at the interface. • All connections between the GLDs and GLIU are dedi- cated point-to-point connections with one source and one load. There are no TRI-STATE buses. • The GLIU itself is a GLD and is always Port 0. The GLIU implements the “bus”. Transactions between GLDs and GLIUs are conducted with packets. The GLIU accepts request packets from masters and routes them to slaves. Similarly, slave response packets are routed back to the master. The bus is non-blocking. Several requests can be pending but order is guaranteed. Broadcasts are not allowed. All packets have one source and one destina- tion. 3.1.2 Routing The Physical To Device (P2D) descriptors control the rout- ing of the packets. The descriptors are initialized by soft- ware at system setup. They establish the address map to be used by the system. They associate a memory or I/O address range with a GLIU port. Figure 3-1.
