5.5.3Opaque Memory Window
When the opaque memory window is enabled, the 41210 hard codes certain address ranges to the secondary segment of each bridge.The
•A[63:62] = 10 Secondary side of
•A[63:62] = 11 Secondary side of
These address ranges are not forwarded from the PCI Express* interface to the corresponding secondary side and are also never forwarded from the secondary to the PCI Express* interface, regardless of the setting of the prefetchable base and limit registers.
Note: Even when the opaque memory window is enabled, the normal behavior defined for the BME, MSE, and IOSE bits in the PCICMD register is still applicable.
5.6VGA Addressing
When a
When this bit is set, the 41210 forwards all transactions addressing the VGA frame buffer memory and VGA I/O registers from PCI Express* to PCI, regardless of the values of the 41210 base and limit address registers. When set, the 41210 does not forward VGA frame buffer memory accesses to PCI Express* regardless of the values of the memory address ranges. However, the I/O enable and memory enable bit in the command register must still be set.
