Description
BPM[5:0]# (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]# should connect the
appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents.
BPM4# provides PRDY# (Probe Ready) functionality for the TAP
port. PRDY# is a processor output used by debug tools to determine
processor debug readiness.
Input/
Output
BPM[5:0]#
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 2.6.2
for termination requirements.
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
BPRI#
Input 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# 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.
Input/
Output
BR0#
This signal does not have on-die termination and must be
terminated.
The BCLK[1:0] frequency select signals BSEL[2:0] are used to select
the processor input clock frequency. Table 15 defines the possible
combinations of the signals and the frequency associated with each
Output 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 2.8.2.
BSEL[2:0]
COMP8
COMP[3:0] and COMP8 must be terminated to VSS on the system
board using precision resistors.
