The PCI6520 secondary PCI/X interface arbiters support external bus masters in addition
to the PCI6520. One secondary arbiter provides arbitration for the PMC sites on PCI bus
B, and the other provides arbitration for the PMCspan and USB host controller on PCI bus
C.
The arbitration assignments on the MVME3100 are shown in the follow table so that
software may set arbiter priority assignments if necessary.

Clock Distribution
The clock function generates and distributes all of the clocks required for system operation.
The clock tree is designed in such a manner as to maintain the strict edge-to-edge jitter and
low clock-to-clock skew required by the devices. Additional clocks required by individual
devices are generated near the devices using individual
page 136
The clock tree A frequencies on bus A have a default configuration of 66MHz. The
33/66/100MHz clocks are dynamically configured at reset depending on the state of the
PCIXCAP and M66EN pins on bus B.
The PCI clock trees A, B, and C are not required to be synchronized with each other.
