PCI Local Bus Interface
Cache Line Size
1
Used to store the cache line size. The value is in units of 4 bytes. A system with a
cache line size of 64 bytes sets the value of this register to 10h. The only sizes
that are supported are 16, 32, 64, and 128 bytes. All other sizes are treated as 0b.
See the information about exceptions in Section 4.4.
Unsupported values affect PCI cache line support. All writes default to using the
memory write (MW) command, and memory read command determination uses
a cache line size of 32 bytes.
Latency Timer The lower two bits are not implemented and return 0b. The upper six bits are
Read/Write.
Header Type This is for a normal single function Ethernet controller and reads 00h.
BIST Built in Self-test is not implemented as supportable from PCI configuration
space in this version of the Ethernet controller.
Base Address Registers
The Base Address Registers (or BARs) are used to map the Ethernet con-
troller’s register space and flash to system memory space. In PCI-X mode
or in PCI mode when the BAR32 bit of the EEPROM is 0b, two registers
are used for each of the register space and the flash memory in order to
map 64-bit addresses. In PCI mode, if the BAR32 bit in the EEPROM is
1b, one register is used for each to map 32-bit addresses.
64-bit BARs PCI-X mode with BAR32 bit in the EEPROM set to 0b.
