Bit	Description
Index 8Ah	General Purpose Timer 2 Count Register (R/W)	Reset Value: 00h

7:0

GPT2_COUNT. This field represents the load value for General Purpose Timer 2. This value can represent either an 8-bit or 16-bit counter (configured in F0 Index 8Bh[5]). It is loaded into the counter when the timer is enabled (F0 Index 83h[1] = 1). Once the timer is enabled and a transition occurs on GPIO7, the timer is re-loaded.

The counter is decremented with each clock of the configured timebase (1 msec or 1 sec selected at F0 Index 8Bh[3]). Upon expiration of the counter, an SMI is generated and the top level of status is F1BAR0+I/O Offset 00h/02h[9]. The second level of status is reported at F1BAR0+I/O Offset 04h/06h[1]). Once expired, this counter must be re-initialized by either disabling and enabling it, or by writing a new count value in this register. See Section 6.2.10.3 "Peripheral Power Management" on page 164 for a discussion on the limitations of producing count error with small values.

For GPIO7 to act as the reload for this counter, it must be enabled as such (F0 Index 8Bh[2]) and be configured as an input. (GPIO pin programming is at F0BAR0+I/O Offset 20h and 24h.)

7Re-trigger General Purpose Timer 1 (GP Timer 1) on Secondary Hard Disk Activity.

0:Disable.

1:Enable.

Any access to the secondary hard disk address range selected in F0 Index 93h[4] reloads GP Timer 1.

6VGA Timer Base. Selects timebase for VGA Timer Register (F0 Index 8Eh).

0:1 millisecond.

1:32 microseconds.

5General Purpose Timer 2 (GP Timer 2) Shift. GP Timer 2 is treated as an 8-bit or 16-bit timer.

0:8-bit. The count value is loaded into GP Timer 2 Count Register (F0 Index 8Ah).

1:16-bit. The value loaded into GP Timer 2 Count Register is shifted left by eight bits, the lower eight bits become zero, and this 16-bit value is used as the count for GP Timer 2.

4General Purpose Timer 1 (GP Timer 1) Shift. GP Timer 1 is treated as an 8-bit or 16-bit timer.

0:8-bit. The count value is that loaded into GP Timer 1 Count Register (F0 Index 88h).

1:16-bit. The value loaded into GP Timer 1 Count Register is shifted left by eight bit, the lower eight bits become zero, and this 16-bit value is used as the count for GP Timer 1.

3General Purpose Timer 2 (GP Timer 2) Timebase. Selects timebase for GP Timer 2 (F0 Index 8Ah).

0:1 second.

1:1 millisecond.

2Re-trigger Timer on GPIO7 Pin Transition. A rising-edge transition on the GPIO7 pin reloads GP Timer 2 (F0 Index 8Ah).

0:Disable.

1:Enable.

	For GPIO7 to work here, it must first be configured as an input. (GPIO pin programming is at F0BAR0+I/O Offset 20h and
	24h.)
1:0	Reserved. Set to 0.
Index 8Ch	IRQ Speedup Timer Count Register (R/W)	Reset Value: 00h

7:0

IRQ Speedup Timer Load Value. This field represents the load value for the IRQ speedup timer. It is loaded into the counter when Suspend Modulation is enabled (F0 Index 96h[0] = 1) and an INTR or an access to I/O Port 061h occurs. When the event occurs, the Suspend Modulation logic is inhibited, permitting full performance operation of the GX1 module. Upon expiration, no SMI is generated; the Suspend Modulation begins again. The IRQ speedup timer’s timebase is 1 msec.

This speedup mechanism allows instantaneous response to system interrupts for full-speed interrupt processing. A typical value here would be 2 to 4 msec.

Index 8Dh Video Speedup Timer Count Register (R/W) Reset Value: 00h

7:0

Video Speedup Timer Load Value. This field represents the load value for the Video speedup timer. It is loaded into the counter when Suspend Modulation is enabled (F0 Index 96[0] = 1) and any access to the graphics controller occurs. When a video access occurs, the Suspend Modulation logic is inhibited, permitting full-performance operation of the GX1 module. Upon expiration, no SMI is generated, and Suspend Modulation begins again. The video speedup timer’s timebase is 1 msec.

This speedup mechanism allows instantaneous response to video activity for full speed during video processing calcula- tions. A typical value here would be 50 msec to 100 msec.
