HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Modified) convey transaction
Output
snoop operation results. Any FSB agent may assert both HIT# and
HITM# together to indicate that it requires a snoop stall, which can
Input/
be continued by reasserting HIT# and HITM# together.
Output
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 processor FSB. This transaction may
optionally be converted to an external error signal (e.g., NMI) by
Output
system core logic. The processor will keep IERR# asserted until the
assertion of RESET#.
This signal does not have on-die termination. Refer to
for termination requirements.
IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to the processor to
ignore a numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floating-
point instructions. If IGNNE# is de-asserted, the processor
generates an exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if
a previous floating-point instruction caused an error. IGNNE# has
Input
no effect 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
Input Reset vector configured during power-on configuration. The
processor continues to handle snoop requests during INIT#
assertion. INIT# is an asynchronous signal and must connect the
appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents.
ITP_CLK[1:0] are copies of BCLK that are used only in processor
systems where no debug port is implemented on the system board.
ITP_CLK[1:0] are used as BCLK[1:0] references for a debug port
Input
implemented on an interposer. If a debug port is implemented in
the system, ITP_CLK[1:0] are no connects in the system. These are
not processor signals.
LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate
pins/lands 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
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 signals as LINT[1:0] is the default
configuration.
