在Intel® 82802AB/82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)的data sheet里面,有下面一段话:) J' ~6 Q F5 A, j
The firmware hub relies on the Intel Firmware Hub interface to communicate with the outside world.; v& l) q: t" U X7 {1 G# F
This interface consists of four bi-directional signals and one control input. The timing and electrical% l E. [9 m) e: x& z% r
parameters of the FWH interface are similar to those of the LPC interface, to provide compatibility- H" I1 b+ G* j% B' \( y% t
between the interfaces, but differ in cases mentioned earlier in this section (clock pin capacitance), as( l0 Y* R, O& S4 a# W* C
well as in certain timing parameters. The Intel ICH has been engineered to accommodate both interfaces,; h- Q9 L. z* N* N! E" G9 C
which allows the Intel FWH interface signals to be communicated over the same set of pins as LPC. The% S% {, w. U% H; d1 `% `
Intel FWH interface is designed to use an LPC-compatible start cycle, with a reserved cycle type code.6 ~0 w6 m, r' {0 _
This ensures that all LPC devices present on the shared interface will ignore cycles destined for the4 }' x8 n) b% _( A/ Y
FWH, without becoming confused by the different protocol.
