List of Registers

Table 45. Upper 32 Bits Downstream Memory 3 Setup Register

This register may be preloaded by serial ROM or programmed by the local processor before host configuration.

Primary byte offset: BF:BCh

Secondary byte offset: BF:BCh

Name

R/W

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These bits specify upper 32 bits of the size of the address range requested

 

 

 

by Downstream Memory 3 BAR.

 

 

 

• When a bit is 1, the corresponding bit in Downstream Memory 3 BAR

 

 

 

functions as a readable and writable bit.

30:0

Size

R/(WS)

• When a bit is 0, the corresponding bit in Downstream Memory 3 BAR

functions as a read-only bit that always returns 0 when read.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These bits must be set to a non-zero value only when bits [2:1] of

 

 

 

Downstream Memory 3 BAR are set to 10b (this is not enforced in

 

 

 

hardware).

 

 

 

• Reset value is 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

64-bit Downstream Memory 3 BAR enable.

 

 

 

When 0, the Downstream Memory 3 64-bit BAR is disabled (but may

31

BAR_Enable

R/(WS)

still be a 32-bit BAR).

When 1, the Downstream Memory 3 BAR is enabled as a 64-bit BAR.

Reset value is 0 (disabled)

16.4.2Configuration Transaction Generation Registers

All of these registers are mapped into the 21555 configuration space and described in Section 16.4.2. Note that the 21555 initiates a transaction only when the Configuration Data registers are accessed at these locations using I/O reads and writes.

The Downstream Configuration Data Register and the Upstream Configuration Data Register are treated as reserved registers for all memory accesses.
