Bit Mnemonic Description
15-8r/w LAHIGH[7-0] Logical Address Window Upper Bound Bits
These bits define the upper limit of the range of MXIbus logical
addresses that map into the VXIbus.
7-0r/w LALOW[7-0] Logical Address Window Lower Bound Bits
These bits define the lower limit of the range of MXIbus logical
addresses that map into the VXIbus.
This register defines the range of MXIbus logical addresses that map into the VXIbus where that
range is: LAHIGH > range LALOW
The VXIbus logical addresses mapped out of the VXI-MXI are the inverse of this range, that is,
MXIbus logical addresses greater than or equal to the LAHIGH value or less than the LALOW
value.
To map a consecutive range of VXIbus logical addresses out of the VXI-MXI, the lower bound
of the range must be placed in the LAHIGH field and the upper bound in the LALOW field. In
this case, the range of VXIbus logical addresses mapped out of the VXI-MXI is:
LALOW > range LAHIGH
The MXIbus logical addresses mapped into the VXIbus are the inverse of this range, that is,
VXIbus logical addresses greater than or equal to the LALOW value or less than the LAHIGH
value.
The window is disabled whenever LAHIGH = LALOW = 0. All VXIbus logical addresses are
mapped out to the MXIbus when:
FF (hex) (LAHIGH = LALOW) 80 (hex)
All MXIbus logical addresses are mapped into the VXIbus when:
7F (hex) (LAHIGH = LALOW) > 0
