| IC3 | PCI-X 2.0 |
| Objectives | |||
| The course explains the architecture of PCI-X based systems. |
|||
| The reset sequence used to select the mode (PCI or PCI-X) and the frequency is detailed. |
|||
| The course explains split transactions. |
|||
| Transfer protocol is described in details with the assistance of the Lecroy analyser. | |||
| A more detailed course description is available on request at info@ac6-training.com | |||
