The Intel
®
 41210 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge (called hereafter the 41210 Bridge or 41210) 
includes device-specific registers that allow for control of the bridges’s behavior, both internally 
and externally. Examples of these device-specific registers are the arbiter control register, the 
prefetch control register, and so on. Depending on the usage model, these registers might need to 
be programmed to a different value than the reset-default, every time 41210 goes through a 
component reset. 
When application-specific initialization of the 41210 is required, the CFGRETRY strap must be 
asserted at the rising edge of PERST#. This places the 41210 Bridge in a local initialization mode, 
and all configuration accesses from PCI Express* is retried by returning a completion with the 
configuration request retry status. As soon as the local configuration is completed, the “Local 
Initialization In Progress bit” in the 
 must be cleared to enable host access to the bridge configuration registers.
Local initialization can be accomplished via SMBus access or Type 0 configuration cycles from the 
secondary bus. The CFGRST# output is asserted whenever the configuration space is reset and can 
be used as a control signal to re-initialize the application-specific parameters. The X_RST# signal 
must not be used since the configuration space is not cleared due to a software-initiated secondary 
bus reset.
Device-specific registers are listed below:
