Text of the page (random words):
pends on the type of cycle for i o access the address is 16 bits transferred most significant nibble first over 4 cycles for system memory access the address is 32 bits transferred most significant nibble first over 8 cycles for isa compatible dma accesses there is no address per se but a two clock cycles transfer a nibble containing the dma channel number and a second nibble giving the transfer size the memory address is programmed into the isa style dma controller in the chipset or the cpu outside of the lpc bus see isa compatible dma below isa compatible reads and writes edit memory and i o accesses are allowed as single byte accesses only and operate as described in transaction structure address data from host if write turnaround sync data from device if read if the host attempts a transfer to an unused address no device will drive the sync cycles and the host will see 1111 on the lad bus after seeing three cycles of 1111 two cycles are allowed in addition to the two turn around cycles for a slow device to decode the address and begin driving sync patterns the host will abort the operation isa compatible dma edit the platform controller hub pch chip or the southbridge chip acts as the host and controls the lpc bus it also acts as the central dma controller for devices on that bus if the memory controller is in the chipset in cpus that contain their own memory controller s the dma controller is located in the cpu for compatibility with software originally written for systems with the isa bus the dma controller contains the circuit equivalents of legacy onboard peripherals of the ibm pc at architecture such as the two programmable interrupt controllers the programmable interval timer and two isa dma controllers which are all involved in isa style dma isa compatible dma uses an intel 8237 compatible dma controller on the host which keeps track of the location and length of the memory buffer as well as the direction of the transfer the device simply requests service from a given dma channel number and the host performs a dma access on the lpc bus the request is made by a virtual isa compatible dma request drq line which is emulated using the device s ldrq signal to indicate transitions on the emulated drq line this is done with 6 bit requests on the ldrq signal a 0 start bit the 3 bit dma channel number most significant bit first one bit of new request level almost always 1 indicating that a dma transfer is requested and a final 1 stop bit the host responds by performing a dma cycle at the next available opportunity dma cycles are named based on the direction of memory access so a read is a transfer to the lpc device and a write is a transfer from the lpc device the address consists of 6 bits sent as two nibbles a 3 bit channel number and 1 bit terminal count indication the isa bus s tc pin or the 8237 s eop output followed by a 2 bit transfer size by default dma channels 0 3 perform 8 bit transfers and channels 5 7 perform 16 bit transfers but an lpc specific extension allows 1 2 or 4 byte transfers on any channel when a multi byte transfer is performed each byte has its own sync field as described below a normal sync ready pattern of 0000 or an error pattern of 1010 also causes a deassertion of the corresponding emulated dma request signal the host will stop dma after the immediately following byte until the device makes another dma request via the ldrq signal a sync pattern of 1001 indicates that the host should consider he device s dma request still active the host will continue with any remaining bytes in this transfer or start another transfer as appropriate without a separate request via ldrq for a dma write where data is transferred from the device the sync field is followed by the 8 bits of data and another sync field until the host specified length for this transfer is reached or the device stops the transfer a two cycle turnaround field completes the transaction for a dma read where data is transferred to the device the sync field is followed by a turnaround and the data turnaround sync turnaround sequence repeats for each byte transferred serialized interrupts edit interrupts are transmitted over a single shared serirq line using the serialized interrupts for pci protocol originally developed for the pci bus 6 the host periodically sends interrupt packets within which each interrupt request is assigned a 1 clock time slot separated by 2 clock turnaround cycles the initial synchronization is done by the host as a simplified example the host drives the serirq line low for four to eight clocks followed by a 2 clock turnaround cycle serirq is driven high for 1 clock then floats high for the second turnaround clock if a device needs to request irq 6 it waits for 6 3 18 clocks then drives serirq low for one clock and high for another the devices can recognize the beginning of the frame because only the host will ever drive the line low for more than one cycle the host identifies the interrupt by counting the number of clocks cycles if it sees the serirq line driven low at the eighteenth clock then irq 18 3 6 is asserted the number of interrupt slots is system specific with 17 being a typical number 16 isa compatible interrupts irq0 irq15 plus nmi after the final interrupt slot the host appends a stop signal consisting of two or three low cycles followed by two turnaround cycles in continuous mode the host periodically initiates a new packet there is also a quiet mode in which a device requests a new packet by driving serirq low for one clock cycle the host then continues driving the line low for the other seven clocks from this point on the protocol is the same the mode is controlled by the length of the host s stop signal at the end of each packet if it consists of three clocks of low signal continuous mode follows and only the host may begin a new packet if the stop signal consists of two low clocks quiet mode follows and any device may initiate an interrupt packet lpc non isa transactions edit start field values other than 0000 or 1111 are used to indicate various non isa compatible transfers 7 the supported transfers are start 1101 1110 firmware memory read and write edit this allows the firmware bios to be located outside the usual peripheral address space these transfers are similar to isa compatible transfers except that there is no ctdir field the direction is encoded in the start field 1101 for read 1110 for write the first 4 address bits are defined as a device select idsel field to allow the selection of one firmware hub out of many for example a second firmware hub can be used to hold a backup bios in case the primary bios is corrupted by malware or a bad flash the remaining 28 address bits define the address within the device most significant nibble first the address is followed by a size field supported read write sizes are 1 2 and 4 bytes sizes of 16 and 128 bytes are supported for read only the data is transferred in one continuous burst with no wait states there is only one sync field for the whole transfer start 0010 0011 bus master dma edit up to two devices on an lpc bus can request a bus master transfer by using the ldrq signal to request use of the reserved dma channel 4 in this case the host will begin a transfer with a special start field of 0010 for bus master 0 or 0011 for bus master 1 followed immediately by two turnaround cycles to hand the bus to the device requesting the bus master dma cycle following the turnaround cycles the transfer proceeds very much like a host initiated isa compatible transfer with the roles reversed the device sends a one cycle ctdir field only i o and memory transfer types are permitted the device sends an address 16 or 32 bits depending on the type it is transferred most significant nibble first the device sends a one cycle transfer size field encoding 8 16 or 32 bits in the case of a write the data follows unlike isa compatible dma cycles the data is transferred in one burst with no more wait states then come two turn around cycles while the lad bus is handed back to the host a variable length sync field is inserted under control of the host in the case of a read the data provided by the host follows this differs from 16 bit isa bus mastering because lpc bus mastering requires a 32 bit memory address when performing a memory transfer does not use an isa style dma channel and can support 8 16 or 32 bit transfers while 16 bit isa bus mastering requires a 24 bit memory address when performing a memory transfer requires the use of an isa style dma channel and cannot perform 32 bit transfers 12 start 0101 tpm locality access edit trusted platform module 2 0 specifications define special tpm read cycles and tpm write cycles that are based on the i o read and the i o write cycles 13 these cycles use a start field with the formerly reserved value of 0101 followed by a ctdir nibble and 16 bit i o address just like an isa compatible write 13 these cycles are used when using a tpm s locality facility 13 supported peripherals edit the lpc bus specification limits what type of peripherals may be connected to it it only allows devices that belong to the following classes of devices super i o devices nonvolatile bios memory firmware hubs audio devices and embedded controllers furthermore each class is restricted on which bus cycles are allowed for each class 7 super i o devices and audio devices are allowed to accept i o cycles accept isa style third party dma cycles and generate bus master cycles generic application memory devices like nonvolatile bios memory and lpc flash devices are allowed to accept memory cycles firmware hubs are allowed to accept firmware memory cycles embedded controllers are allowed to accept i o cycles and generate bus master cycles some isa cycles that were deemed not useful to these classes were removed they include host initiated two byte memory cycles and host initiated two byte i o cycles these removed transfer types could be initiated by the host on isa buses but not on lpc buses the host would have to simulate two byte cycles by splitting them up into two one byte cycles the isa bus has a similar concept because the original 8 bit isa bus required 16 bit cycles to be split up therefore the 16 bit isa bus automatically split 16 bit cycles into 8 bit cycles for the benefit of 8 bit isa peripherals unless the isa device being targeted by a 16 bit memory or i o cycle asserted a signal that told the bus that it could accept the requested 16 bit transfer without assistance from an isa cycle splitter 12 isa style bus mastering has been replaced in the lpc bus with a bus mastering protocol that does not rely on the isa style dma controllers at all this was done in order to remove isa s limit on what type of bus master cycles a device is allowed to initiate on which dma channel the isa style bus cycles that were inherited by lpc from isa are one byte host initiated i o bus cycles one byte host initiated memory cycles and one or two byte host initiated isa style dma cycles 7 however some non isa bus cycles were added cycles that were added to improve the performance of devices beside firmware hubs include lpc style one two and four byte bus master memory cycles one two and four byte bus master i o cycles and 32 bit third party dma which conforms to all of the restrictions of isa style third party dma except for the fact that it can do 32 bit transfers any device that is allowed to accept traditional isa style dma is also allowed to use this 32 bit isa style dma the host could initiate 32 bit isa style dma cycles while peripherals could initiate bus master cycles firmware hubs consumed firmware cycles that were designed just for firmware hubs so that firmware addresses and normal memory mapped i o addresses could overlap without conflict firmware memory reads could read 1 2 4 16 or 128 bytes at once firmware memory writes could write one two or four bytes at once 7 the lpc bus does not support isa expansion cards see also edit electronics portal list of interface bit rates legacy plug and
