Default PCI Burst transfers initiated by the Northbridge - 11-13-2005 , 10:27 AM






Hello,

I want to know how PCI Burst transfers can be initiated by the CPU,
i.e. when does the host bridge start PCI burst transfers as initator?
I'm writing a device driver for Linux and I'm intersted about this
topic.

Can somebody point me to information about this topic or explain
the issue a bit? Thanks for any hints.


Regards,
Bernhard
