1b = prefetchable space

Ethernet controller implements non-prefetchable space

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since it has read side-effects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lower bits of the address are hard-wired to 0b. The

 

 

 

 

upper bits can be written by the system software to set

 

 

 

 

the base address of the register or flash address space.

 

 

 

 

The memory register space is 128K bytes. The

 

 

 

 

Memory Register BAR has:

 

 

 

 

• Bits 16:4 are hard-wired to 0b.

 

 

 

 

• Bits 63:17 or 31:17 are read/write.

 

 

 

 

The size of the flash space can very between 64 KB and

 

 

 

 

512 KB depending on the FLASH size read from the

 

 

 

 

EEPROM. The Memory Flash BAR has these

The size of the IO register space is 8 bytes. The I/O

 

 

 

 

Register BAR has:

 

 

 

 

• Bit 2 hard-wired to 0b

 

 

 

 

• Bits 31:3 as read/write
