<strong>PCIe</strong> <strong>Devices</strong><br />

n<br />

Same definition as for PCI and PCI-X devices<br />

with the following additions/modifications<br />

l<br />

l<br />

<strong>PCIe</strong> devices must be compliant with ‘legacy’ operating<br />

system plug-and-play software utilities<br />

– Means PCI enumeration, configuration, device driver,<br />

application, and, if applicable, interrupt utilities<br />

– <strong>PCIe</strong> devices (accept the Root Complex) must implement PCI<br />

required and optional configuration space<br />

• May optionally implement <strong>PCIe</strong> optional configuration space<br />

Connections between <strong>PCIe</strong> compliant devices is now over a<br />

serial link<br />

– Communications over the link is controlled by an <strong>PCIe</strong> three<br />

layer protocol stack<br />
