11.3.1 Base Registers (BR
x
)

The base registers (BR0–BR11) contain the base address and address types that the memory controller uses

to compare the address bus value with the current address accessed. Each register also incl udes a memory

attribute and selects the machine for memory operation handling. Figure 11-7 shows the BRx register

format.

Table11-4 describes BRx fields.

1For BR0 these fields depend on reset configuration sequence. See Section5.4.1, “Hard Reset Configuration Word.”
For BR1–11, these fields are cleared at reset.

0–16 BA Base address. The upper 17 bits of each base address register are compared to the address on
the address bus to determine if the bus master is accessing a memory bank controlled by the
memory controller. Used with OR
