Networking Silicon — GD82559ER

8.1.2System Control Block Command Word

Commands for the 82559ER’s Command and Receive units are placed in this register by the CPU.

Bits

Name

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

31:26

Specific

Specific Interrupt Mask. Setting this bit to 1b causes the 82559ER to stop

generating an interrupt (in other words, de-assert the INTA# signal) on the

Interrupt Mask

 

corresponding event.

 

 

 

 

 

25

SI

Software Generated Interrupt. Setting this bit to 1b causes the 82559ER

to generate an interrupt. Writing a 0b to this bit has no effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interrupt Mask. If the Interrupt Mask bit is set to 1b, the 82559ER will not

24

M

assert its INTA# pin. The M bit has higher precedence that the Specific

 

 

Interrupt Mask bits and the SI bit.

 

 

 

23:20

CUC

Command Unit Command. This field contains the CU command.

 

 

 

19

Reserved

This bit is reserved and should be set to 0b.

 

 

 

18:16

RUC

Receive Unit Command. This field contains the RU command.

 

 

 

8.1.3System Control Block General Pointer

The System Control Block (SCB) General Pointer is a 32-bit field that points to various data structures depending on the command in the CU Command or RU Command field.

8.1.4PORT

The PORT interface allows software to perform certain control functions on the 82559ER. This field is 32 bits wide:

Address and Data (bits 32:4)

PORT Function Selection (bits 3:0)

The 82559ER supports four PORT commands: Software Reset, Self-test, Selective Reset, and Dump.

8.1.5Flash Control Register

The Flash Control Register is a 32-bit field that allows access to an external Flash device.

8.1.6EEPROM Control Register

The EEPROM Control Register is a 32-bit field that enables a read from and a write to the external

EEPROM.

8.1.7Management Data Interface Control Register

The Management Data Interface (MDI) Control register is a 32-bit field and is used to read and write bits from the MDI.

Bits

Description

 

 

 

 

31:30

These bits are reserved and should be set to 00b.
