Intel® 460GX Chipset Software Developer’s Manual 11-15
LPC/FWH Interface Configuration
11.1.27.3 Test Mode Register
Address: FC-FFh
Default Value: 00000000h
Attributes: Read/Write
11.2 PCI to LPC I/O Space Registers
11.2.1 DMA Registers
The IFB contains DMA circuitry that incorporates the functionality of two 82C37 DMA controllers
(DMA1 and DMA2). The DMA registers control the operation of the DMA controllers and are all
accessible from the Host CPU via the PCI Bus interface.
11.2.1.1 Dcom–Dma Command Register (I/O)
I/O Address: Channels 0-3–08h; Channels 4-7–0D0h
Default Value: 00h (CPURST or Master Clear)
Attribute: Write Only
This 8-bit register controls the configuration of the DMA. Note that disabling channels 4-7 also
disables channels 0-3, since channels 0-3 are cascaded onto Channel 4.

FWH_C8_IDSEL: This dictates the IDSEL of 512 KB of the FWH memory range starting at 4 GB -
3.5 MB (FFC80000H) to 4 GB - 3 MB (FFCFFFFFH) as well as register space starting at (4 GB-
4MB) - 3.5MB (FF880000h) to (4 GB-4MB) - 3MB (FF8FFFFFh). The enable for this range is
controlled through bit 1 of the FWH Decode Enable Register at E3H.
3:0
FWH_C0_IDSEL: This dictates the IDSEL of 512 KB of the FWH memory range starting at 4 GB -
4 MB (FFC00000H) to 4 GB - 3.5 MB (FFC7FFFFH) as well as register space starting at (4 GB-
4MB) – 4MB (FF800000h) to (4 GB-4MB) - 3.5MB (FF87FFFFh). The enable for this range is
controlled through bit 0 of the FWH Decode Enable Register at E3H.

31:1 Reserved.
0 Alternate Access Mode Enable: When set, the part enters alternate access mode. This allows
reads to certain write-only registers and writes to certain read-only registers. Read to Port 70h will
return the NMI mask value. See Section 10.3 of the RS-IFB (I/O & Firmware Bridge) External
Design Specification, Rev 2.0, for more detail.
Bit Description
7 Reserved. Must be 0.
6 Reserved. Must be 0.
5 Reserved. Must be 0.
4 DMA Group Arbitration Priority. 1=Rotating priority; 0=Fixed priority
3 Reserved. Must be 0
2 DMA Channel Group Enable. 1=Disable; 0 = Enable.
1:0 Reserved. Must be 0.
