Compatibility with Existing PCI Specification n n Ability to enumerate and configure PCIe hardware using PCI system configuration software (OS) with no modifications l l l PCI devices (across a PCIe-PCI bridge) must be accessible by existing OSs and device drivers PCIe add-in card must be accessible to existing OSs and capable of being configured Compatibility includes – Boot over existing OS – Support existing I/O device drivers (at binary level) – Support existing applications New software required to configure/enable new PCIe functionality by adopting the PCI configuration paradigm Copyright by Dashcourses, Inc. 2009 1-17
