Differences from Real Hardware

The AMD-8111 Southbridge device differs from other devices mainly in those items that deal with real-time operation. Those items cannot be modeled in the current simulator. The model does not include any of the power-management registers. The functionality of the USB 2.0 controller is also absent (PCI registers and memory-mapped registers are the only portion present).

For experimental purposes, the AMD-8111 Southbridge device supports an optional IOMMU (based on IOMMU spec. 1.2) that can be enabled and disabled via the automation command "8111.SetIOMMU 01". The addition of this block to the device model does not reflect any real or planned hardware. When enabled, the AMD-8111 device‟s IOMMU PCI registers live in a capability block of the PCI Bridge. When enabled, the AMD-8111 device‟s IOMMU delivers interrupts via PCIINTD. The AMD- 8111 device doesn't support PCI Express. This limits the number of distinct requester ID's available (Three requester ID's: legacy LPC, legacy PCI, internal IDE controller). There are no SimNow PCI models that implement MSI. This means the only APIC-style interrupts the IOMMU can intercept are from a single requester ID, the AMD-8111 device‟s internal IOAPIC.
