A24 Window Map Register
VXIbus Address: Base Address + E (hex)
Attributes: Read/Write
This register defines the range of addresses in A24 space that are mapped into and out of the
VXI-MXI through the MXIbus. These bits are cleared on a hard reset.
The CMODE bit in the MXIbus Control Register selects the format of this register. If the
CMODE bit is 0 (default), a Base/Size window comparison is used to determine the range of
addresses in the window. If the CMODE bit is set, an upper and lower bound is used to
determine the range of addresses in the window.
The A24 Window Map Register has the following format when the CMODE bit is cleared:

Bit Mnemonic Description
15r/w 0 Reserved Bit
This bit is reserved and reads back as zero. Write a zero when
writing to these bits.
14r/w A24EN A24 Window Enable Bit
When this bit is set, the A24 mapping window is enabled. When
this bit is cleared, the A24 mapping window is disabled.
13r/w A24DIR A24 Window Direction Bit
When this bit is set, the A24 window applies to MXIbus cycles that
are mapped into VXIbus cycles (inward cycles). When this bit is
cleared, the A24 window applies to VXIbus cycles that are mapped
out into MXIbus cycles (outward cycles). The complement of the
defined range is mapped in the opposite direction.
