BINIT#

Input/

Output

BINIT# (Bus Initialization) may be observed and driven by all processor system bus 
agents and if used, must connect the appropriate pins of all such agents. If the 
BINIT# driver is enabled during power-on configuration, BINIT# is asserted to 
signal any bus condition that prevents reliable future operation.

 If BINIT# observation is enabled during power-on configuration, and BINIT# is 
sampled asserted, symmetric agents reset their bus LOCK# activity and bus 
request arbitration state machines. The bus agents do not reset their IOQ and 
transaction tracking state machines upon observation of BINIT# activation. Once 
the BINIT# assertion has been observed, the bus agents will re-arbitrate for the 
system bus and attempt completion of their bus queue and IOQ entries.

If BINIT# observation is disabled during power-on configuration, a central agent 
may handle an assertion of BINIT# as appropriate to the error handling architecture 
of the system.

BNR#

Input/

Output

BNR# (Block Next Request) is used to assert a bus stall by any bus agent who is 
unable to accept new bus transactions. During a bus stall, the current bus owner 
cannot issue any new transactions.

BPM[5:0]#

Input/

Output

BPM[5:0]# (Breakpoint Monitor) are breakpoint and performance monitor signals. 
They are outputs from the processor which indicate the status of breakpoints and 
programmable counters used for monitoring processor performance. BPM[5:0]# 
should connect the appropriate pins of all Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M 
system bus agents.

BPM4# provides PRDY# (Probe Ready) functionality for the TAP port. PRDY# is a 
processor output used by debug tools to determine processor debug readiness.

BPM5# provides PREQ# (Probe Request) functionality for the TAP port. PREQ# is 
used by debug tools to request debug operation of the processor.

BPRI#

Input

BPRI# (Bus Priority Request) is used to arbitrate for ownership of the processor 
system bus. It must connect the appropriate pins of all processor system bus 
agents. Observing BPRI# active (as asserted by the priority agent) causes all other 
agents to stop issuing new requests, unless such requests are part of an ongoing 
locked operation. The priority agent keeps BPRI# asserted until all of its requests 
are completed, then releases the bus by deasserting BPRI#.

BR0#

Input/

Output

BR0# drives the BREQ0# signal in the system and is used by the processor to 
request the bus. During power-on configuration this pin is sampled to determine the 
agent ID = 0. 

BSEL[1:0]

Output

BSEL[1:0] (Bus Select) are used to select the processor input clock frequency. 

 defines the possible combinations of the signals and the frequency 

associated with each combination. The required frequency is determined by the 
processor, chipset and clock synthesizer. All agents must operate at the same 
frequency. The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M operates at a 400 MHz system 
bus frequency (100 MHz BCLK[1:0] frequency). For more information about these 
pins, including termination recommendations refer to 

 and the 

appropriate platform design guidelines. 

COMP[1:0]

Analog

COMP[1:0] must be terminated on the system board using precision resistors.
