Questions
Answer the following questions for rest your knowledge of this chapter:
- Describe the main features of the SPI bus protocol.
- How can the I2C bus protocol interconnect a system with many masters and several slaves?
- What are the layers of the PCIe protocol stack?
- What are the supported speeds and widths of the PCIe link?
- What are the main components in a PCIe RC? How many PCIe RCs can a PCIe system have?
- What are the PCIe maximum payload size, maximum read request size, and read completion? What is the relationship between them?
- How can the read completion affect the read performance over PCIe at a system level?
- Describe how a payload size of 9,000 bytes can be written from DRAM memory in a PCIe end point node, using its DMA engine, into DRAM memory within a PCIe RC node.
- What are the main architectural features of the Ethernet protocol?
