5.2.5.21 Secondary Bus Upstream Split Transaction Register
This register controls the behavior of the bridge buffers for forwarding split transactions from a secondary bus
requester to a primary bus completer. When the completer bus is in the PCI-X mode, the split transaction
commitment limit field only affects the byte count used when issuing read requests.

Field Name and Description

RW
Split Transaction Commitment Limit
This field indicates the cumulative sequence size for all memory read transactions forwarded by the bridge
from requesters on the secondary bus addressing completers on the primary bus.
This field indicates the size of the commitment limit in units of ADQs.
Software is permitted to program this field to any value greater than or equal to the contents of the split transac-
tion capacity field. A value less than the contents of the split transaction capacity field causes unspecified
results. If this field is set to x‘FFFF’, the bridge is permitted to forward all split requests of any size regardless of
the amount of buffer space available.
A value of x‘0100’ or greater will cause the bridge to forward accepted split requests of any size regardless of
the amount of buffer space available.
Software is permitted to change this field at any time. The most recent value of the field is used each time the
bridge forwards a split transaction.

Split Transaction Capacity
This read-only field indicates the size of the buffer (in number of ADQs) for storing split completions for memory
reads. This applies to requesters on the secondary bus addressing completers on the primary bus.
The bridge returns x‘0020’ to indicate that there are 32 ADQs (4K bytes) available buffer space.
