This document describes how the 21555 resolves issues concerning the use of PCI add-in cards where the processor on the PCI add-in card is used as a system slot or host processor. It also describes 21555 issues and design considerations when the same add-in card is used as a peripheral master or as a local processor add-in card. This dual capability means that two separate add-in card design and development efforts are not needed to support system and peripheral slot add-in cards.
