XIO2001: GRST# behavior

Part Number: XIO2001

Dear Sirs,

Is there a way to know if internal reset is active in XIO2001? Can I read GRST# pin to know if internal reset is happening?

Thank you

  • Hello Vitor,

    No, there is no internal status that can be read for the GRSTz pin because it resets all the registers to their defaults.

    When GRST is asserted low, all control registers, state machines, sticky register bits, and power management state machines are initialized to their default state. In addition, the bridge asserts PCI bus reset ( PRST). When the rising edge of GRST occurs, the bridge samples the state of all static control inputs and latches the information internally. If an external serial EEPROM is detected, then a download cycle is initiated. Also, the process to configure and initialize the PCI Express link is started. The bridge starts link training within 80 ms after GRST is deasserted.

  • Hello JMMN,

    Thank you for the answer. 

    Then I understand I can read PRST as an indirect way to detect GRST occurences, right?

  • Hi Vitor,

    Yes. that would work if you have the ability to check PRST.
