Re: how to learn the BUS architecture(PCI, PCI Express, AMBA

I recommend u start with the hardest thing .. read the specs even if u won't understand anything .. and while reading, put down on a piece of paper all the terms that u didn't understand .. search for them on the internet .. maybe wikipedia will be very helpful in that .. and keep on till u get the maximum knowledge out of this specs document .. and if did ur best and u still can't get everything, then post questions .. read other documents .. books and so on ..
One thing needs to be mentioned .. if u miss some basics (even if not related to bus architectures), and u found the documents packed with talking about them .. don't leave everything as a whole and go for a basics book .. just learn the specific basics that u miss for the moment .. becuase if u go for learning something else from the begining while u r preparing for a project, time will swift from u .. so, be carefull and get frustrated because of not understanding either new specs terms or even some basics that u might say others definetly know them ..

Hi sweesw,

If you want to learn PCI bus by actually developing a PCI device, you may want to consider BDS XPCI PCI IP core we have developed.
BDS XPCI PCI IP core is a Xilinx (TM) LogiCORE (TM) PCI compatible PCI IP core.
We offer this PCI IP core for as little as $100 for non-commercial, non-profit, personal use.

I know nothing about how a bus transaction is handled.
I wish to learn it from scatch, for example, what means master, what means slave, etc.
Could anyone share some ideas what and where I can start with?
What book I should read to understand it if I have no previous experience?

go to arm.com and download the datasheet

if you have any knownledge of bus , you must learn computer architecture and organization first.

Hi
sweesw!
I think you should read the spec first,and there's a
very good book <pci system architecture> that will
help you very well!
zhpy

can u tell about BAR in PCI bus. pls say the Exact purpose of this.....
