Register Description

4.9.4PCISTS – PCI Status Register

Address Offset:

06-07h

Default Value:

0080h

Access:

Read Only, Read/Write Clear

Size:

16 bits

PCISTS is a 16-bit status register that reports the occurrence of error events on Device #0's PCI Interface. Bit 14 is Read/Write Clear. All other bits are Read Only. Since GMCH Device #0 does not physically reside on PCI_A, many of the bits are not implemented.

Bit

Descriptions

 

 

15

Detected Parity Error (DPE): The GMCH does not implement this bit and it is hardwired to a 0.

 

Writes to this bit position have no effect.

 

 

14

Signaled System Error (SSE): The GMCH does not implement this bit and it is hardwired to a 0.

 

Writes to this bit position have no effect.

 

 

13

Received Master Abort Status (RMAS): The GMCH does not implement this bit and it is

 

hardwired to a 0. Writes to this bit position have no effect.

 

 

12

Received Target Abort Status (RTAS): The GMCH does not implement this bit and it is

 

hardwired to a 0. Writes to this bit position have no effect.

 

 

11

Signaled Target Abort Status (STAS): The GMCH does not implement this bit and it is

 

hardwired to a 0. Writes to this bit position have no effect.

 

 

10:9

DEVSEL Timing (DEVT): These bits are hardwired to “00”. Writes to these bit positions have no

 

affect. Device #0 does not physically connect to PCI_A. These bits are set to “00” (fast decode)

 

so that the GMCH does not limit optimum DEVSEL timing for PCI_A.

 

 

8

Master Data Parity Error Detected (DPD): The GMCH does not implement this bit and it is

 

hardwired to a 0. Writes to this bit position have no effect.

 

 

7

Fast Back-to-Back (FB2B): This bit is hardwired to 1. Writes to these bit positions have no

 

effect. Device #0 does not physically connect to PCI_A. This bit is set to 1 (indicating fast back-to-

 

back capability) so that the GMCH does not limit the optimum setting for PCI_A.

 

 

6:5

Reserved

 

 

4

Capability List (CLIST): This bit is hardwired to 0 to indicate to the configuration software that

 

this device/function does not implement new capabilities.

 

Default Value = 0

 

 

3:0

Reserved
