Extra cycles forced by BS16# and BS8# signals should be viewed as independent bus
cycles. BS16# and BS8# should be asserted for each additional cycle unless the
addressed device can change the number of bytes it can return between cycles. The

Quark SoC X1000 Core deasserts BLAST# until the last cycle before the transfer
is complete.

asserted.
During burst cycles, BS8# and BS16# operate in the same manner as during non-burst
cycles. For example, a single non-cacheable read could be transferred by the Intel
Quark SoC X1000 Core as four 8-bit burst data cycles. Similarly, a single 32-bit write
could be written as four 8-bit burst data cycles. An example of a burst write is shown in
Figure
98. Burst writes can only occur if BS8# or BS16# is asserted.
