Land Listing and Signal Descriptions
BPM[5:0]#
BPMb[3:0]#
Input/
Output
BPM[5:0]# and BPMb[3:0]# (Breakpoint Monitor) are breakpoint
and performance monitor signals. They are outputs from the
processor which indicate the status of breakpoints and
programmable counters used for monitoring processor
performance. BPM[5:0]# and BPMb[3:0]# should connect the
appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents. BPM[3:0]# are
associated with core 0. BPMb[3:0]# are associated with core 1.
BPM4# provides PRDY# (Probe Ready) functionality for the TAP
port. PRDY# is a processor output used by debug tools to determine
processor debug readiness.
BPM5# provides PREQ# (Probe Request) functionality for the TAP
port. PREQ# is used by debug tools to request debug operation of
the processor.
These signals do not have on-die termination. Refer to Section 2.5.2
for termination requirements.
BPRI# Input
BPRI# (Bus Priority Request) is used to arbitrate for ownership of
the processor FSB. It must connect the appropriate pins/lands of all
processor FSB agents. Observing BPRI# active (as asserted by the
priority agent) causes all other agents to stop issuing new requests,
unless such requests are part of an ongoing locked operation. The
priority agent keeps BPRI# asserted until all of its requests are
completed, then releases the bus by de-asserting BPRI#.
BR0#
Input/
Output
BR0# drives the BREQ0# signal in the system and is used by the
processor to request the bus. During power-on configuration this
signal is sampled to determine the agent ID = 0.
This signal does not have on-die termination and must be
terminated.
BSEL[2:0] Output
The BCLK[1:0] frequency select signals BSEL[2:0] are used to
select the processor input clock frequency. Table 16 defines the
possible combinations of the signals and the frequency associated
with each combination. The required frequency is determined by the
processor, chipset and clock synthesizer. All agents must operate at
the same frequency. For more information about these signals,
including termination recommendations refer to Section 2.7.2.
COMP8
COMP[3:0]
Analog
COMP[3:0] and COMP8 must be terminated to V
SS
on the system
board using precision resistors.
