ÉLANSC520 MEMORY MAPPED CONFIGURATION REGION (MMCR) REGISTERS

Much of the functionality incorporated into the ÉlanSC520 Microcontroller, such as the watchdog timer, CPU speed control, and general-purpose timer, can be controlled and monitored through the Memory Mapped Configuration Region (MMCR) registers. The MMCR registers occupy 4KB of memory space. For convenience, these registers are made available at boot time in the first megabyte of system RAM, at DF000h.

Wherever the MMCR is located, its 4KB footprint will cover and take precedence over the underlying memory space function. For example, when the D0000h page function is set to ISA bus, DF000h through DFFFFh will instead by occupied by the MMCR. For this reason, the maximum BIOS extension size is reduced from 64KB to 60KB.

In the event of an address conflict, the MMCR base address can be moved at any time with an I/O write to the Configuration Base Address Register (CBAR), located at I/O address FFFCh. Refer to the ÉlanSC520 Register Set Manual for further details.
