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 127 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 93 for descriptions of the others.

(EPP) or when using the Extended registers, bit 2 (A2) should also be 0b.

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.
