41210 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge Developer’s Manual 83
Register Description
12.2.11 Offset 1Ch: IOBL—I/O Base and Limit
This register defines the base and limit, aligned to a 4 KB boundary, of the I/O area of the bridge.
Accesses from PCI Express* that are within the ranges specified in this register are sent to PCI
when the I/O space enable bit is set. Accesses from PCI Express* that are outside the ranges
specified result in an Unsupported Request response.
Table 45. Offset 1Ch: IOBL—I/O Base and Limit
Bits Type Reset Description
15:12 RW 0h
I/O Limit Address Bits [15:12] (IOLA): These bits define the top address of an address
range to determine when to forward I/O transactions from PCI Express* to PCI. These bits
correspond to address lines[15:12] for 4 KB aligned window. Bits[11:0] are assumed to be
FFFh.
11:8 RO 0h
I/O Limit Addressing Capability (IOLC): Each of these bits is hard-wired to 0, indicating
support for 16-bit I/O addressing only.
7:4 RW 0h
I/O Base Address Bits [15:12] (IOBA): These bits define the bottom address of an
address range to determine when to forward I/O transactions from one interface to another.
These bits correspond to address lines[15:12] for 4 KB alignment. Bits[11:0] are assumed to
be 000h.
3:0 RO 0h
I/O Base Addressing Capability (IOBC): Each of these bits is hard-wired to 0, indicating
support for 16-bit I/O addressing only.
