Probe State The Probe state is entered when the Northbridge connects the AMD Athlon system bus to probe the processor (for example, to snoop the processor caches) when the processor is in the Halt or Stop Grant state. When in the Probe state, the processor responds to a probe cycle in the same manner as when it is in the Working state.
Connect Protocol In addition to the legacy STPCLK# signal and the Halt and Stop Grant special cycles, the AMD Athlon system bus connect protocol includes the CONNECT, PROCRDY, and CLKFWDRST signals and a Connect special cycle.
Page 26
The system is required to assert the CONNECT signal before returning the C-bit for the connect special cycle (assuming CONNECT has been deasserted). For more information, see the AMD Athlon™ and AMD Duron™ System Bus Specification, order# 21902 for the definition of the C-bit and the Connect special cycle.
