ROM A Base/Size Register
Writes to this register must be enveloped by a period of time in which no
accesses to ROM/Flash Block A, occur. A simple way to provide the
envelope is to perform at least two accesses to this or another of the SMC’s
registers before and after the write.
ROM A BASE These control bits define the base address for ROM/Flash
Block A. ROM A BASE bits 0-11 correspond to PPC60x
address bits 0 - 11 respectively. For larger ROM/Flash
sizes, the lower significant bits of ROM A BASE are
ignored. This means that the block’s base address will
always appear at an even multiple of its si ze. ROM A
BASE is initialized to $FF0 at power-up or local bus reset.
Note that in addition to the programmed address, the first
1Mbyte of Block A also appears at $FFF00000 -
$FFFFFFFF if the rom_a_rv bit is set and the rom_b_rv
bit is cleared.
Also note that the combination of ROM_A_BASE and
rom_a_siz should never be programmed such that
ROM/Flash Block A responds at the same address as the
CSR, SDRAM, External Register Set, or any other slave
on the PowerPC bus.
rom_a_64 rom_a_64 indicates the width of ROM/Flash being used
for Block A. When rom_a_64 is cleared, Block A is 16
bits wide, where each half of SMC interfaces to 8 bits.
When rom_a_64 is set, Block A is 64 bits wide, where
