8.2.1. Configuration Space
The Configuration Space implements the following configuration registers and associated functions:
- Header Type 0 Configuration Space for Endpoints
- Header Type 1 Configuration Space for Root Ports
- PCI Power Management Capability Structure
- Virtual Channel Capability Structure
- Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) Capability Structure
- Message Signaled Interrupt–X (MSI–X) Capability Structure
- PCI Express Capability Structure
- Advanced Error Reporting (AER) Capability Structure
- Vendor Specific Extended Capability (VSEC)
The Configuration Space also generates all messages (PME#, INT, error, slot power limit), MSI requests, and completion packets from configuration requests that flow in the direction of the root complex, except slot power limit messages, which are generated by a downstream port. All such transactions are dependent upon the content of the PCI Express Configuration Space as described in the PCI Express Base Specification.
