HyperTransport uses PCI configuration. The previous chapter described HyperTransport technology configuration for host bridges, tunnels, and end (cave) devices. These devices use the type 0 configuration header format, while HyperTransport-to-HyperTransport bridges and bridges between HyperTransport and other PCI compatible protocols (e.g. PCI and PCI-X) use the type 1 header format and are described separately in Chapter 16, entitled "HyperTransport Bridges," on page 407. Many aspects of HyperTransport device configuration are exactly the same as for generic PCI devices, although some header fields are used differently in HyperTransport, and some not at all.
