7.2.4.6 Global (GBL)
The global (GBL
) signal is an input/output signal on the 750GX.
Global (GBL
)—Output
Global (GBL
)—Input
State Asserted Indicates that the transaction is global and should be snooped by other
masters. GBL
reflects the M bit (WIMG bits) from the memory management
unit (MMU) except during certain transactions. Copybacks are always
nonglobal. Instruction accesses do not reflect the M bit when the HID0[IFEM]
bit (HID0 bit 23) is '0' and the instruction address translation bit (bit 26) in the
Machine State Register is '1' (MSR[IR] = '1'); or if HID0[IFEM] is '1' and
MSR[IR] is '0'. In either of these cases, the M bit is ignored and the access is
nonglobal.
Negated Indicates that the transaction is not global and should not be snooped by
other masters.

State Asserted Indicates that a transaction must be snooped by the 750GX.
Negated Indicates that a transaction should not be snooped by the 750GX. (In addi-
tion, certain nonglobal transactions are snooped for reservation coherency.
See Table 7-1 on page 256.)
