Electrical Characteristics

PCH Direct eSPI OOB Channel Support

The PCH Direct eSPI target's OOB channel transmits and receives HW/FW OOB packets from the processor Direct eSPI controller. It forwards all received OOB packets between the PCH eSPI switch and the processor Direct eSPI controller.

The OOB channel is automatically disabled upon ESPI_​RESET# assertion. An unplanned reset event in the processor or the PCH may cause abrupt PCH_​RSMRST# assertion without a reset/warn handshake. It causes the channel to be disabled for both the Direct eSPI controller and target, abruptly terminating any pending requests/completions.
