Leveraging an enumeration and/or configuration mechanism of one interconnect protocol for a different interconnect protocol

摘要

An interconnect architecture device of an aspect includes a processor to generate a transaction that is of a different interconnect protocol than LLI. The interconnect architecture device also includes conversion logic coupled with the processor. The conversion logic is to convert the transaction, which is of the different interconnect protocol than LLI, to an LLI packet. The interconnect architecture device also includes an LLI controller coupled with the conversion logic. The LLI controller is to couple the interconnect architecture device with an LLI link. The LLI controller is to transmit the LLI packet on the LLI link.

1. An interconnect architecture device comprising:
a processor to generate a transaction that is not compliant with LLI; conversion logic coupled with the processor, the conversion logic to convert the transaction, which is not compliant with LLI, to an LLI packet; and an LLI controller coupled with the conversion logic, the LLI controller to couple the interconnect architecture device with an LLI link, the LLI controller to transmit a symbol corresponding to the LLI packet on the LLI link, wherein the transaction is selected from a PCI configuration transaction and a PCIE configuration transaction, and wherein the conversion logic is to convert the configuration transaction to an LLI service packet.
