2-28 Intel® 460GX Chipset Software Developer’s Manual
2.4.6.2 ERRCMD: Error Command Register
Address Offset: 45h– 46h Size: 16 bits
Default Value: 8040h Attribute: Read/Write
This register provides extended control over the signalling of errors through SERR_OUT#,
XBINIT#, and INTRQ#. These controls are in addition to the defined controls specified in the PCI-
standard PCICMD register for SERR# assertion.
Bits
Description
15 XBINITO: XBinit Override Enable
This bit should always be initially set to 0 by software. If set to 0, XBINIT# may be
asserted by the WXB. The WXB will automatically set this bit after an XBINIT# is
signaled. Default = 1
Note: Software should verify that there are no errors pending (by evaluating the ERRSTS register) before
clearing this bit.
Note: This bit is Reserved on side-b and records a value of one only!
14 reserved(0)
Note: This bit is Reserved on side-b and records a value of zero only!
13 IRQE: INTRQ Enable
Controls the reporting of WXB transmitted data errors. If set, the WXB will assert an
INTRQ interrupt for observed PERR# (including IHPC-driven parity errors) and data
parity errors detected in outbound transactions (e.g. Internal Queue Error detected
during read by PCI interface). Default = 0.
12 ASAPE: Assert SERR# on Address Parity Error
This bit should always be set to 1. When the WXB detects a PCI Address Parity Error
and both SERRE and PERRE are set, SERR# (and SERR_OUT#) will be signaled.
Default = 0.
11 ASDPE: Assert SERR# on any Data Parity Error
If set, the WXB will assert SERR# (and SERR_OUT#) whenever a data parity error is
detected in an inbound transaction. The SERRE bit in the PCICMD register must also be
set for SERR# (and SERR_OUT#) to be signaled. Default = 0.
10 ASDTE: Assert SERR# on Discard Timer Expiration
This bit should always be set to 1. When an inbound read Discard Timer Expiration
occurs and SERRE is set, SERR# (and SERR_OUT#) will be signaled. Default = 0.
9:7 reserved(0)
6 reserved(1)
5:0 reserved (0)
2.4.6.3 FEPCI: PCI Bus First Error Status Register
Address Offset: 83h Size: 8 bits
Default Value: 00h Attribute: Read/Write Clear,
Sticky
This register records and latches the first error observed on the PCI bus. Once an error has been
noted in this register, no further updates are allowed. This register is a write-1-to-clear register,
meaning that software must write a 1 to the specific bit location it wishes cleared. The response to
