Chapter 1: Hardware Description
On the 4538 board, the serial EEPROM content disables the windows. By default, no Local to PCI window is enabled. It is not recommended using these windows for transfers from or to the PCI local space, because this mechanism can result in bad performance, depending on the other PCI devices tied to the PCI bus.
The local base address of each window is defined in PowerSpan internal register
PB_SIx_BADDR. Note that the window must be mapped in the local space between 0xC0000 0000 and 0xCFFF FFFF, in order to comply with the card local space usage. Each window can be moved on the PCI memory or I/O space, using a PowerSpan translation register (PB_SIx_TADDR), so that even a small window can allow access to any part of the PCI space.
During a PowerQUICC II access to the PCI space, the
