6.3.3.5 PMCSR_BSE Bridge Support Extensions
1 Byte Offset = 6 (RO)
This register indicates support for PCI bridge specific functions. Note that these functions are not
implemented in the Ethernet controller and the values are set to 00h.
6.3.3.6 Data Register
1 Byte Offset = 7 (RO)
This register is used to report power consumption and heat dissipation. Its value and meaning is
determined by the value programmed in the Data_Select field of the Power Management Control/
Status Register (PMCSR).
The units are defined by the
Data_Scale field of the Power Management Control/Status Register.
If power management is disabled in the EEPROM, then the data register always reads 0b.
