RIRB Response Interrupt Count – RW – 16 bits – [Mem_Reg: Base + 5Ah]
Field Name Bits Default Description
N Response Interrupt
Count
7:0 00h 01h = 1 Response sent to RIRB
:
FFh = 255 Responses sent to RIRB
00h = 256 Responses sent to RIRB
The DMA engine should be stopped when changing this
field or else an interrupt may be lost.
Note that each Response occupies two dwords in the
RIRB.
If more than one codec responds in one frame, then the
count is increased by the number of responses received in
the frame.
Reserved 15:8 00h Reserved. Software must do a read-modify-write to
preserve the value of these bits.
RIRB Control – RW – 8 bits – [Mem_Reg: Base + 5Ch]
Field Name Bits Default Description
Response Interrupt
Control
0 0b 0 = Disable Interrupt
1 = Generate an interrupt after N number of Responses are
sent to the RIRB buffer or when an empty Response slot is
encountered on all SDIN_x inputs after a frame which
return a response (whichever occurs first). The N counter is
reset when the interrupt is generated.
RIRB DMA Enable 1 0b 0 = DMA Stop
1 = DMA Run
Response Overrun
Interrupt Control
2 0b If this bit is set, the hardware will generate an interrupt
when the Response Overrun Interrupt Status is set.
Reserved 7:3 00h Reserved. Software must do a read-modify-write to
preserve the value of these bits.
RIRB Status – RW – 8 bits – [Mem_Reg: Base + 5Dh]
Field Name Bits Default Description
Response Interrupt 0 0b Hardware sets this bit to “1” when an interrupt has been
generated after N number of responses are sent to the
RIRB buffer, or when empty Response slot is encountered
on all SDIN_x inputs (whichever occurs first). Software
clears this bit by writing a “1” to this bit.
Reserved 1 0b Reserved. Software must use 0’s for write to these bits.
Response Overrun
Interrupt Status
2 0b Hardware sets this bit to a “1’ when an overrun occurs in
the RIRB. An interrupt may be generated if the Response
Overrun Interrupt Control bit is set.
Software clears this bit by writing a “1” to it.
Reserved 7:3 0h Reserved. Software must use 0’s for write to these bits.
RIRB Size – RW – 8 bits – [Mem_Reg: Base + 5Eh]
Field Name Bits Default Description
RIRB Size 1:0 10b These bits have no functional impact to the hardware.
This HD Audio controller only supports 256 entries.
Reserved 3:2 0h Reserved. Software must do a read-modify-write to
preserve the value of these bits.
RIRB Size Capability 7:4 4h Hardwired to 4h indicating this controller only supports a
RIRB size of 256 entries.
