PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Specification Revision 1.1
This specification establishes the requirements that a PCI-to-PCI bridge must meet to be compliant to this specification and the PCI Local Bus Specification. In addition, the requirements for optional extensions are specified. This specification does not describe the implementation details of any particular requirement or optional feature of a PCI-to-PCI bridge, nor is it a goal of this specification to describe any particular PCI-to-PCI bridge implementation. However, some recommendations are provided for some implementation-specific features that can be provided by a PCI-to-PCI bridge.
The PCI Utilities package contains a library for portable access to PCI bus
configuration registers and several utilities based on this library.
In runs on the following systems:
Linux (via /sys/bus/pci, /proc/bus/pci or i386 ports)
FreeBSD (via /dev/pci)
NetBSD (via libpci)
OpenBSD (via /dev/pci)
GNU/kFreeBSD (via /dev/pci)
Solaris/i386 (direct port access)
Aix (via /dev/pci and odmget)
GNU Hurd (direct port access)
Windows (direct port access)
This is a PCI to USB bridge schematic that i was draw by hand from a PCI to USB card, the schematic use VT6212L to make bridge, the idear is that we can use microcontroler interface to PC through PCI slot by USB, ha ha it is too easy.
This book is intended as a thorough introduction to both PCI and PCI-X. Is as a “companion” to the specifications. If you’re designing boards or systems using offthe-shelf PCI interface silicon, this book together with the silicon vendor’s data sheets should be sufficient for your needs. On the other hand, if your goal is to design PCI silicon, motherboards or backplanes, you will undoubtedly need to reference the specifications for additional detail.
