Type
IERR# (Internal Error) is asserted by a processor as the result of an
internal error. Assertion of IERR# is usually accompanied by a
SHUTDOWN transaction on the FSB. This transaction may optionally
be converted to an external error signal (e.g., NMI) by system core
Output
logic. The processor keeps IERR# asserted until the assertion of
RESET#, BINIT#, or INIT#.
For termination requirements please refer to the appropriate
platform design guide.
IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to force the processor to
ignore a numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floating-
point instructions. If IGNNE# is deasserted, the processor generates
an exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if a previous
floating-point instruction caused an error. IGNNE# has no effect
Input
when the NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set.
IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of
this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be
valid along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/
Output Write bus transaction.
INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside
the processor without affecting its internal caches or floating-point
registers. The processor then begins execution at the power-on Reset
vector configured during power-on configuration. The processor
continues to handle snoop requests during INIT# assertion. INIT# is
an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of this signal
following an Input/Output Write instruction, it must be valid along
Input
with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/Output Write
bus transaction. INIT# must connect the appropriate pins of both
FSB agents.
If INIT# is sampled active on the active to inactive transition of
RESET#, then the processor executes its Built-in Self-Test (BIST).
For termination requirements please refer to the appropriate
platform design guide.
LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate pins
of all APIC Bus agents. When the APIC is disabled, the LINT0 signal
becomes INTR, a maskable interrupt request signal, and LINT1
becomes NMI, a nonmaskable interrupt. INTR and NMI are backward
compatible with the signals of those names on the Intel® Pentium®
processor. Both signals are asynchronous.
Input
Both of these signals must be software configured via BIOS
programming of the APIC register space to be used either as NMI/
INTR or LINT[1:0]. Because the APIC is enabled by default after
Reset, operation of these pins as LINT[1:0] is the default
configuration.
LOCK# indicates to the system that a transaction must occur
atomically. This signal must connect the appropriate pins of both FSB
agents. For a locked sequence of transactions, LOCK# is asserted
from the beginning of the first transaction to the end of the last
Input/
transaction.
Output
When the priority agent asserts BPRI# to arbitrate for ownership of
the FSB, it waits until it observes LOCK# deasserted. This enables
symmetric agents to retain ownership of the FSB throughout the bus
locked operation and ensure the atomicity of lock.
