I'm guessing that you're asking if it has to have as much memory as the
resource.  If that's the case, the answer is no.  You just have to respond
to any request in that region.

 

In other words, you could request a 1 GB region and only respond with useful
data in the first 1 MB (respond to any other read with zeros), or map the 1
MB 1024 times into the 1 GB, or anything else you decide.

 

Sorry if I totally missed the intent of your question,

Myles

Subject: [LinuxBIOS] PCI device memory resource

 

For a PCI device to request memory resource of ,say 1MB, should it have
onboard
memory of 1MB ?
TIA
