List of Registers

Table 39. Upper 32 Bits Downstream Memory 3 Bar

Primary byte offset: 27:24h

Secondary byte offset: 67:64h

Bit

Name

R/W

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This register defines the upper 32 bits of a memory range for

 

 

 

downstream forwarding of memory transactions. The lower 32 bits

 

 

 

are contained in the Downstream Memory 3 BAR. These bits are

 

 

 

used to indicate the size of the requested address range and to set

 

 

 

the base address of the range. The value of each bit in the Upper 32

 

 

 

Bits Downstream Memory 3 Setup register determines the function of

 

 

 

the corresponding bit in this register.

31:0

Base Address

R/W

• When a bit in the setup register is 0, the same bit in this register

is a read-only bit and always return 0 when read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• When a bit in the setup register is one (1), the same bit in this

 

 

 

register is writable and returns the value last written when read.

 

 

 

This BAR is disabled when bit [31] of the Upper 32 Bits Downstream

 

 

 

Memory 3 BAR is 0. The minimum size for this address range is 4 K.

 

 

 

The maximum size is 263 bytes.

 

 

 

• Reset value is Read only as 0 (range is disabled).

 

 

 

 

Table 40. Upstream Memory 2 Bar

Primary byte offset: 63:60h

Secondary byte offset: 23:20h

This register defines the memory range for upstream forwarding of transactions using lookup table based address translation. All other BARs use direct offset address translation when forwarding transactions.

The size of this register is programmed or disabled by setting the page size in the Chip Control 1 configuration register.

0

Space Indicator

R

Reads only as 0 to indicate that memory space is requested.

 

 

 

 

2:1

Type

R

Indicates size and location of this address space. Reads as 00 to

indicate that this space can be mapped anywhere in 32-bit memory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this address range is enabled, read only as 1h to indicate

Prefetchable

R

prefetchable memory. Page entries also may be individually

designated as prefetchable or nonprefetchable, where a

 

 

 

 

 

 

nonprefetchable entry overrides this prefetchable bit.

 

 

 

 

13:4

R

Read Only. Returns 0 when read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These bits are used to indicate the size of the requested address

 

 

 

range and to set the base address of the memory range for

 

 

 

upstream forwarding using lookup table based address translation.

Base Address

R/W

The size of this window is a function of the page size, and can vary

from 16 KB to 4 MB increasing by powers of two. The number of

 

 

 

 

 

 

writable bits is dependent on the window size, and varies from

 

 

 

[31:14] for a 16 KB window to [31:28] for a 256 MB window.

 

 

 

Reset value is This address range is disabled (reads only as 0).
