List of Registers

Table 42. Downstream Memory 0, 2, 3, and Upstream Memory 1 Translated Base Register

These registers contain the translated base addresses for their respective downstream and upstream BARs. The base address of the transaction on the initiator bus is replaced by the base address contained in these registers

These registers are also mapped in the 21555 I/O and memory CSR space.

The number of bits that are used for the translated base is determined by the setup register corresponding to that base address and also matches the number of writable bits in the corresponding BAR.

The remaining bits can be written but are ignored when performing address translation. When a memory transaction is initiated by the 21555 on the target bus, the original base address is replaced with the value contained in this register.
