5.4.2.6LDN 07h - Parallel Port

The Parallel Port supports all IEEE 1284 standard commu- nication modes: Compatibility (known also as Standard or SPP), Bidirectional (known also as PS/2), FIFO, EPP (known also as Mode 4) and ECP (with an optional Extended ECP mode).

The Parallel Port includes two groups of runtime registers, as follows:

A group of 21 registers at first level offset, sharing 14 entries. Three of these registers (at Offset 403h, 404h, and 405h) are used only in the Extended ECP mode.

A group of four registers, used only in the Extended ECP mode, accessed by a second level offset.

The desired mode is selected by the ECR runtime register (Offset 402h). The selected mode determines which runt- ime registers are used and which address bits are used for the base address. (See Section 5.8.1 on page 136 for fur- ther details regarding the runtime registers.)

Table 5-15lists the configuration registers which affect the Parallel Port. Only the last register (F0h) is described here (Table 5-16). See Table 5-3 "Standard Configuration Regis- ters" on page 101 for descriptions of the others.

Bits [7:2] are RO.

 

 

 

Bit 1 is R/W.

 

 

 

Bit 0 is RO. It reflects the interrupt type dictated by the Parallel Port operation mode.

 

 

 

This bit is set to 1 (level interrupt) in Extended Mode and cleared (edge interrupt) in all

 

 

 

other modes.

4Extended Register Access.

0:Registers at base (address)+403h, base+404h and base+405h are not accessible (reads and writes are ignored).

1:Registers at base (address)+403h, base+404h and base+405h are accessible. This option supports run-time configura- tion within the Parallel Port address space.

3:2

Reserved.

1Power Mode Control. When the logical device is active:

0:Parallel port clock disabled. ECP modes and EPP timeout are not functional when the logical device is active. Registers are maintained.

1:Parallel port clock enabled. All operation modes are functional when the logical device is active. (Default)

0TRI-STATE Control. When enabled and the device is inactive, the logical device output pins are in TRI-STATE.

0:Disable. (Default)

1:Enable.
