Some of the Am79C930 device's PCMCIA Common Memory locations have predefined uses and, therefore, are not freely available to the device driver. The

following table indicates restricted space within PCMCIA Common Memory map of the Am79C930 device:

Am79C930 Device PCMCIA Mode Common Memory Restricted Space

PCMCIA Address

SIR1[5:3]

Restricted Space

Description of Reserved Use

 

 

 

 

0000h – 03FFh

000

1 Kbytes

SRAM Memory 0 0000h – 0 03FFh

 

 

 

This space is reserved for the interrupt

 

 

 

vector table of the embedded 80188

 

 

 

core.

 

 

 

 

0400h – 041Fh

000

32 bytes

SRAM Memory 0 0400h – 0 041Fh

 

 

 

This SRAM space is inaccessible to

 

 

 

the 80188 embedded core, since the

 

 

 

80188 core maps the 32 TIR registers

 

 

 

of the TAI into this portion of 80188

 

 

 

memory space.

 

 

 

 

0420h – 043Fh

000

32 bytes

SRAM Memory 0 0420h – 0 042Fh

 

 

 

This SRAM space is inaccessible to

 

 

 

the 80188 embedded core, since the

 

 

 

80188 core maps the MIR registers of

 

 

 

the BIU (PIR, PDLC and PUCT) and

 

 

 

XCE space into this portion of 80188

 

 

 

memory space.

 

 

 

 

0440h – 047Fh

000

64 bytes

SRAM Memory 0 0440h – 0 047Fh

 

 

 

This SRAM space is reserved for future

 

 

 

use and may be decoded for non-

 

 

 

SRAM purposes in the future.

 

 

 

 

7C00h – 7FEFh

111

1K–16 bytes

Flash Memory 1 FC00h – 1 FFEFh

 

 

 

These bytes of the Flash memory also

 

 

 

map into PCMCIA Attribute Memory

 

 

 

space 0000h – 03FFh, which is used

 

 

 

for storing the CIS for the device.

 

 

 

Therefore, this space cannot be used

 

 

 

for non-CIS purposes.

 

 

 

 

7FF0h – 7FFFh

111

16 bytes

Flash Memory 1 FFF0h – 1 FFFFh

 

 

 

These 16 bytes of Flash memory

 

 

 

space are reserved because they are

 

 

 

the location of the embedded 80188

 

 

 

core's instruction pointer following a

 

 

 

Am79C930 device reset operation.

 

 

 

These 16 bytes must contain the first

 

 

 

80188 instructions.
