Register Description

R

3.5.3PCICMD—PCI Command Register (Device 0)

Address Offset:

04–05h

Default:

0006h

Access:

R/W, RO

Size

16 bits

Since MCH Device 0 does not physically reside on PCI0, many of the bits are not implemented.

Bit

Descriptions

 

 

15:10

Reserved.

 

 

9

Fast Back-to-Back—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 0. This bit controls whether or not the

 

master can do fast back-to-back write. Since device 0 is strictly a target this bit is not

 

implemented.

 

 

8

SERR Enable (SERRE)—R/W.This bit is a global enable bit for Device 0 SERR messaging.

 

The MCH does not have an SERR# signal. The MCH communicates the SERR# condition by

 

sending a SERR message to the ICH2.

 

0 =Disable. SERR message is not generated by the MCH for Device 0.

 

1 =Enable. The MCH is enabled to generate SERR messages over the hub interface for

 

specific Device 0 error conditions that are individually enabled in the ERRCMD Register. The

 

error status is reported in the ERRSTS and PCISTS registers.

 

NOTE: This bit only controls SERR message for the Device 0. Device 1 has its own SERRE

 

bits to control error reporting for error conditions occurring on their respective devices.

 

 

7

Address/Data Stepping—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 0.

 

 

6

Parity Error Enable (PERRE)—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 0.The PERR# signal is not

 

implemented by the MCH.

 

 

5

VGA Palette Snoop—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 0.

 

 

4

Memory Write and Invalidate Enable(MWIE)—RO. Not implemented; Hardwired to 0.

 

 

3

Special Cycle Enable(SCE)—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 0.

 

 

2

Bus Master Enable (BME)—RO.Hardwired to 1. The MCH is always enabled as a master on

 

the hub interface.

 

 

1

Memory Access Enable (MAE)—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 1. The MCH always

 

allows access to system memory.

 

 

0

I/O Access Enable (IOAE)—RO.Not implemented; Hardwired to 0.
