AMD SB600 Register Reference Manual Proprietary Page 29 Global HBA Control – RW - 32bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + 04h] Field Name Bits Default Description
AHCI Enable (AE) 31 0b When set, indicates that communication to the HBA shall be
via AHCI mechanisms. This can be used by an HBA that
supports both legacy mechanisms (such as SFF-8038i) and
AHCI to know when the HBA is running under an AHCI
driver.
When set, software shall only communicate with the HBA
using AHCI. When cleared, software shall only communicate
with the HBA using legacy mechanisms. When cleared
FISes are not posted to memory and no commands are sent
via AHCI mechanisms.
Software shall set this bit to ‘1’ before accessing other AHCI
registers.
Interrupt Status - RW -32 bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + 08h] Field Name Bits Default Description
Interrupt Pending Status
(IPS)
31:0 0000_
0000h If set, indicates that the corresponding port has an interrupt
pending. Software can use this information to determine
which ports require service after an interrupt.
The IPS[x] bit is only defined for ports that are implemented
or for the command completion coalescing interrupt defined
by CCC_CTL.INT. All other bits are reserved.
Write 1 to clear these status bits.
Ports Implemented Register - R -32 bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + 0Ch] Field Name Bits Default Description
Port Implemented (PI) 31:0 0000000Fh This register is bit significant. If a bit is set to ‘1’, the
corresponding port is available for software to use. If a bit is
cleared to ‘0’, the port is not available for software to use.
The maximum number of bits set to ‘1’ shall not exceed
CAP.NP + 1, although the number of bits set in this register
may be fewer than CAP.NP + 1. At least one bit shall be set
to ‘1’.
AHCI Version- R – 32 bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + 10h] Field Name Bits Default Description
Minor Version Number
(MNR)
15:0 0100h Indicates the minor version is “10”.
Major Version Number
(MJR)
31:16 0001h Indicates the major versi on is “1”
Version: V1.10
Command Completion Coalescing Control(CCC_CTL) - RW – 32 bits [Mem_reg: ABAR + 14h] Field Name Bits Default Description
CCC_CTL Enable 0 0b When cleared to ‘0’, the command completion coalescing
feature is disabled and no CCC interrupts are generated.
When set to ‘1’, the command completion coalescing feature
is enabled and CCC interrupts may be generated based on
timeout or command completion conditions. Software shall
only change the contents of the TV and CC fields when EN is
cleared to ‘0’. On transition of this bit from ‘0’ to ‘1’, any
updated values for the TV and CC fields shall take effect.
