26MASHST: master host. Read; set and cleared by hardware. This bit indicates which link is the path to the master (or only) host bridge on the HyperTransport™ technology chain. 1=The hardware set this bit as a result of a write command from the B side of the tunnel to any of the bytes of DevA:0xC0[31:16]. 0=The hardware cleared this bit as a result of a write command from the A side of the tunnel to any of the bytes of DevA:0xC0[31:16]. This bit, along with DEFDIR, is used to determine the side of the tunnel to which AGP master requests are sent.
25:21 | UnitID count. Read only. Specifies the number of UnitIDs used by the IC (three). | |
20:16 | BUID: base UnitID. | |
| this value to determine the UnitIDs for link request and response packets. When a new value is | |
| written to this field, the response includes a UnitID that is based on the new value in this register. | |
| Note: some legacy operating systems may require that this value be set to zero for normal operation | |
| so that the AGP capability block is part of device 0. Since the IC does not use the base unit ID in any | |
| link transactions, there is no conflict with the host unit ID. However, at boot, BIOS is required to | |
| temporarily change the BUID value of the IC so that the BUID values in downstream devices may be | |
| initialized. After downstream BUID values are initialized, this field may be set to zero to be | |
| compatible with legacy operating systems. |

Link Configuration And Control Register | DevA:0xC4 and DevA:0xC8 | |
|
|
|
DevA:0xC4 applies side A of the tunnel and DevA:0xC8 applies to side B of the tunnel. The default value for bit[5] may vary (see the definition).
Default: ??11 0020h for DevA:0xC4 and ??00 0020h for DevA:0xC8.Attribute: See below.

30:28 | LWO: link width out. |
| are 001b (16 bits; DevA:0xC4 only), 000b (8 bits), 101b (4 bits), 100b (2 bits), and 111b (not |
| connected). Note: this field is cleared by PWROK reset but not by RESET#; the default value of this |
| field depends on the widths of the links of the connecting device, per the link specification. Note: |
| after this field is updated, the link width does not change until either RESET# is asserted or a link |
| disconnect sequence occurs through or LDTSTOP#. |

27 | Reserved. |
|
|
26:24 | LWI: link width in. |
| 001b (16 bits; DevA:0xC4 only), 000b (8 bits), 101b (4 bits), 100b (2 bits), and 111b (not connected). |
| Note: this field is cleared by PWROK reset but not by RESET#; the default value of this field depends |
| on the widths of the links of the connecting device, per the link specification. Note: after this field is |

| occurs through an LDTSTOP# assertion. |

22:20 | Max link width out. Read only. This specifies the width of the outgoing link to be 16 bits wide for |
| side A and 8 bits wide for side B. |
