3.17.56 PCI Express Next Item Pointer Register - PCIE_NXTP

The Next Item Pointer Register bits adhere to the definitions in the PCI Local Bus

Specification, Revision 2.3. This register describes the location of the next item in the

function’s capability list.
By default, the PCI Express capability is the last capabilities list for the 4138xx, thus

this register defaults to 00H.
However, this register may be written to 90H prior to host configuration to include the

VPD capability located at off-set 90H.

Warning:

Writing this register to any value other than 00H (default) or 90H is not supported and

may produce unpredictable system behavior.
In order to insure that this register is written prior to host configuration, the 4138xx

must be initialized at

P_RST#

assertion to Retry Type 0 configuration cycles (bit 2 of

PCSR). Typically, the Intel XScale

®

processor would be enabled to boot immediately

following

P_RST#

assertion in this case (bit 1 of PCSR), as well. Please see

Section

3.17.41, “PCI Configuration and Status Register - PCSR” on page 327

for more details

on the 4138xx’s initialization modes.

Next_ Item_ Pointer

- This field provides an offset into the function’s configuration space pointing to the

next item in the function’s capability list. Since the PCI Express capabilities are the last in the linked list

of extended capabilities in the 4138xx, the register is set to 00H.

However, this field may be written prior to host configuration with 90H to extend the list to include the

VPD extended capabilities header.
