Abstract
A bus bridge device for enabling communication between a first device and a second device, wherein the first device is based on advanced microprocessor bus advanced system bus (ASB) protocol and the second device is based on peripheral component interconnect (PCI) protocol. The bus bridge device includes an ASB protocol interface coupled to the ASB protocol device, and the ASB protocol interface is adapted to transmit a response to and receive a transaction from the ASB protocol device. The bus bridge device also includes a PCI protocol interface coupled to the PCI protocol device, and the PCI protocol interface is adapted to transmit a transaction to and receive a response from the PCI protocol device. The ASB protocol interface is coupled to the PCI protocol interface. The ASB protocol interface is adapted to forward the transaction from the ASB protocol device to the PCI protocol interface, and the PCI protocol interface is adapted to forward the response from the PCI protocol device to the ASB protocol interface.
