List of Registers

Table 77. Chip Control 0 Register (Sheet 3 of 4)

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

Primary byte offset: CD:CCh

Secondary byte offset: CD:CCh

Bit

Name

R/W

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Controls prefetching for upstream dual address transactions using the

 

 

 

memory read bus command.

 

Upstream

 

When 0, prefetching is performed for upstream DAC memory reads.

8

DAC Prefetch

R/W

When 1, upstream DACs using the memory read bus command are not

 

Disable

 

prefetched; transactions are limited to a single Dword and byte enables

 

 

 

are preserved.

 

 

 

Reset value is 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enables multiple devices to be attached to the ROM interface.

 

 

 

• When 0, only the parallel and serial ROM can be attached to the ROM

 

Multiple

 

interface. The PROM (PROM) chip select is driven on the pr_cs_l pin.

9

R/W

• When 1, multiple devices may be attached to the ROM interface. All

Device Enable

 

 

chip selects with the exception of the serial ROM are decoded from

 

 

 

 

 

 

the upper address lines of the ROM interface.

 

 

 

• Reset value is 0

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bit prevents the primary bus from accessing configuration space. This

 

 

 

allows the local processor to access the 21555 registers before the host

 

 

 

processor accesses them.

 

 

 

This bit can be written from the secondary interface only. The local

 

 

 

processor must write this bit to a 0 to allow the 21555 to be configured by

 

Primary

 

the host processor, unless preloaded to 0 by serial ROM.

 

 

 

10

Access

R/(WS)

• When 0, the 21555 configuration space can be accessed from both

 

Lockout

 

interfaces.

 

 

 

• When 1, the 21555 configuration space can only be accessed from

 

 

 

the secondary interface. Primary bus accesses, with the exception of

 

 

 

the Reset Control Register, receive a target retry.

 

 

 

• Reset value is 1 when pr_ad[3] is high during reset, 0 when pr_ad[3]

 

 

 

is low during reset.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondary clock output disable. (refer to Table 20)

 

Secondary

 

• When 0, signal s_clk_o is driven as a buffered copy of p_clk.

11

R/W

• When 1, signal s_clk_o is disabled and driven low.

Clock Disable

 

 

• Reset value is 0 when pr_ad[5] is high during primary bus reset; 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

when pr_ad[5] is low during primary bus reset.
