One interesting thing. In PCI Spec 2.2, section 6.2.4 it says that:
Values in these registers must be loaded and valid prioir to the system BIOS or any system software accessing the PCI Coniguration Space.
Haha.. who should set them then, if they are not set in hardware?
That is the blah, blah, blah part. It is:
How these values are loaded is NOT SPECIFIED but could be done during the manufactureing process or loaded form external logic (e.g., strapping options, serial ROMs, etc.)
BTW, why I can't download PCI spec form PCI-SIG anymore ? Even for the 'useless' PCI conventional stuff.
I assume they want $$
I jsut read that on LWN, the InfiniBand TA also closed their used-to-be free downloadable specification.
Why those people hate us so much ?
