will be four cache lines. This field is only applicable if
read-ahead has been enabled. The encoding of this field is
shown in the table above.
WXFTxWrite Any FIFO Threshold. This field is used by the
PHB to determine a FIFO threshold at which to start
writing data into local memory during any PCI w rite
transaction. Once the threshold is exceed ed and the write
has begun, the PHB will continue to empty its FIFO until
it can no longer create a cache line. This field is only
applicable if write-posting has been enabled. The
encoding of this field is shown in the above table.
The PCI Slave Offset Registers (PSOFFx) contain offset information
associated with the mapping of PCI memory space to PPC memory space.
The field within the PSOFFx registers is defined as follows:
PSOFFxPCI Slave Offset. This register contains a 16-bit offset
that is added to the upper 16 bits of the PCI address to
determine the PPC address used for transfers from PCI to
the PPC bus. This offset allows PPC res ources to reside at
addresses that would not normally be visible from PCI.
CONFIG_ADDRESS Register
The description of the CONFIG_ADDRESS register is presented in three
perspectives: from the PCI bus, from the PPC bus in big-endian mode, and
from the PPC bus in little-endian mode. Note that the view from the PCI
bus is purely conceptual, since there is no way to access the
CONFIG_ADDRESS register from the PCI bus.
