8.1.5PCISTS: PCI Status Register

Address Offset:

06h – 07h

Size:

16 bits

Default Value:

0200h

Attribute:

Partial Read/Write, Sticky

The PCI status register is used to record status information for PCI bus-related events. The definition of each of the bits is given in the register bit list below. The specific implementation of each bit in the IHPC is also given. Reads to this register behave normally. Writes are slightly different in that bits can be reset, but not set. A bit is reset whenever the register is written and the data in the corresponding bit location is a one (1). For instance, to clear bit 14 and not affect any other bits, write the value 0100_0000_0000_0000b to the register.

Bits Description

15Detected Parity Error

This bit is set by the IHPC whenever it detects a parity error, even if parity error handling is disabled (as controlled by bit 6 in the command register). The default value of this bit in the IHPC is zero (0).

14Signaled System Error

This bit is set whenever the IHPC asserts SERR#. The default value of this bit in the IHPC is zero (0).

13Received Master Abort

Not supported. Hardwired Value = 0

12Received Target Abort

Not supported. Hardwired Value = 0

11Signaled Target Abort

Not supported. Hardwired Value = 0

10:9 DEVSEL# Timing

These bits encode the timing of DEVSEL#. There are three allowable timings for assertion of DEVSEL#. These are encoded as 00b for fast, 01b for medium, and 10b for slow (11b is reserved). The value of these bits are always set to medium (01).

8Data Parity Error

Not supported. Hardwired Value = 0

7Fast Back-to-Back Capable

Not supported. Hardwired Value = 0

6:0 reserved(0)

8.1.6RID: Revision Identification Register

Address Offset:

08h

Size:

8 bits

Default Value:

Stepping-Dependent

Attribute:

Read-Only

This register contains the revision number of the IHPC. These bits are read-only and writes to this register have no effect.
