SIR0: General Configuration Register (GCR)

This register is used to control general functions related to the Am79C930, particularly interrupts to and from the 80188 core and power down functions.

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7

SWRESET

0

Software Reset. When SWRESET is set to a 1, the BIU will be

 

 

 

RESET, with the exception of the SWRESET bit and the software

 

 

 

reset bit in the PCMCIA Card Configuration Register. The 80188

 

 

 

embedded controller will not be reset. TAI will not be reset.

 

 

 

SWRESET is unaffected by the RESET bit of the PCMCIA Configu-

 

 

 

ration Option Register.

 

 

 

6

CORESET

0

Core Reset. When CORESET is set to a 1, the 80188 embedded

 

 

 

controller and the TAI are held in RESET. In addition, the

 

 

 

FLASHWAIT and SRAMWAIT fields of MIR8 and MIR9 are set to

 

 

 

their default states of “11b” The reset to the 80188 core and the TAI

 

 

 

remains active as long as CORESET has the value 1. During the

 

 

 

reset time, the Am79C930 memory interface bus is directly acces-

 

 

 

sible through the system interface.

5

DISPWDN

0

Disable Power Down Mode. When DISPWDN is set to a 1, the

 

 

 

Am79C930 device will be prevented from entering the power down

 

 

 

mode. If the Am79C930 device is already in the power down mode

 

 

 

when DISPWDN notes a transition from 0 to 1, then the power down

 

 

 

mode will be exited within three CLKIN periods.

4

ECWAIT

0

Embedded Controller WAIT Mode. When ECWAIT is set to 1, the

 

 

 

RDY input to the 80188 core will be held deasserted forcing the

 

 

 

80188 core into a WAIT state. At the same time, the system inter-

 

 

 

face side of the BIU will be placed into direct access mode, such

 

 

 

that system interface access cycles will have direct access to the

 

 

 

Am79C930 memory interface. When ECWAIT is reset to a 0, the

 

 

 

RDY line to the 80188 core will be reasserted, the 80188 core

 

 

 

will resume operation and system interface direct access mode will

 

 

 

cease. ECWAIT also functions to determine the source of

 

 

 

interrupts to the system (through the system interface interrupt

 

 

 

pin(s)) as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ECWAIT

 

Source of Interrupts

 

 

 

 

 

(SIR0[4])

 

Sent To System

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0

 

MIR0[2] (note that this bit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

is set by 80188 firmware)

 

 

 

 

1

 

TAI interrupt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3

ECINT

0

Embedded Controller Interrupt. ECINT indicates that an interrupt

 

 

 

for the system has been generated by either the 80188 core or the

TAI. Only one interrupt source is operable at one time. The oper- able interrupt source is determined by the setting of the 80188 WAIT mode bit (SIR0[4]). This bit will stay set until the driver soft- ware clears the interrupt by writing a 1 to this bit.
