Broadcasting data on a peripheral component interconnect bus

摘要

A method for broadcasting data on a peripheral component interconnect bus (10) includes coupling at least one master agent (22), at least one responding target agent (28) and at least one snooping target agent (30) to the peripheral component interconnect bus, transmitting a standard PCI master agent signal from the master agent (22) to the responding target agent (28), transmitting a standard PCI responding target agent signal, driven by the responding target agent, from the responding target agent to the master agent and monitoring the standard PCI master agent signal and the standard PCI responding target agent signal using the snooping target agent (30).
