Hi all,
I have some basic doubts on PCI arbiter.
1)how is the "framen" controlled -- i guess it is a shared resource on the PCI bus wher all the devices sitting on the PCI bus have access to it. 2)If a "request" is received from a device on PCI bus ,should the "grant" be issued immediately or should the PCI arbiter wait until the "framen" is dropped (asserted). 3)If a "request" is received from a device on PCI bus , but the "framen" is not dropped at all.how should the PCI arbiter react to this condition.Regards, Praveen
