PI7C7300A
3-PORT PCI-TO-PCI BRIDGE
ADVANCE INFORMATION
read multiple commands are used; transactions using the memory read command are
limited to a single data transfer.
The memory-mapped I/O base address and memory-mapped I/O limit address registers
define an address range that PI7C7300A uses to determine when to forward memory
commands. PI7C7300A forwards a memory transaction from the primary to the
secondary interface if the transaction address falls within the memory-mapped I/O
address range. PI7C7300A ignores memory transactions initiated on the secondary
interface that fall into this address range. Any transactions that fall outside this address
range are ignored on the primary interface and are forwarded upstream from the
secondary interface (provided that they do not fall into the prefetchable memory range or
are not forwarded downstream by the VGA mechanism).
The memory-mapped I/O range supports 32-bit addressing only. The PCI-to-PCI Bridge
Architecture Specification does not provide for 64-bit addressing in the memory-mapped
I/O space. The memory-mapped I/O address range has a granularity and alignment of
1MB. The maximum memory-mapped I/O address range is 4GB.
The memory-mapped I/O address range is defined by a 16-bit memory-mapped I/O base
address register at configuration offset 20h and by a 16-bit memory-mapped I/O limit
address register at offset 22h. The top 12 bits of each of these registers correspond to bits
[31:20] of the memory address. The low 4 bits are hardwired to 0. The lowest 20 bits of
the memory-mapped I/O base address are assumed to be 0 0000h, which results in a
natural alignment to a 1MB boundary. The lowest 20 bits of the memory-mapped I/O
limit address are assumed to be FFFFFh, which results in an alignment to the top of a
1MB block.
Note: The initial state of the memory-mapped I/O base address register is 0000 0000h.
The initial state of the memory-mapped I/O limit address register is 000F
FFFFh. Note that the initial states of these registers define a memory-mapped I/O range
at the bottom 1MB block of memory. Write these registers with their appropriate values
before setting either the memory enable bit or the master enable bit in the command
register in configuration space.
To turn off the memory-mapped I/O address range, write the memory-mapped I/O base
address register with a value greater than that of the memory-mapped I/O limit address
register.
5.3.2
PREFETCHABLE MEMORY BASE AND LIMIT ADDRESS
REGISTERS
Locations accessed in the prefetchable memory address range must have true memory-
like behavior and must not exhibit side effects when read. This means that extra reads to
a prefetchable memory location must have no side effects. PI7C7300A pre-fetches for all
types of memory read commands in this address space.
The prefetchable memory base address and prefetchable memory limit address registers
define an address range that PI7C7300A uses to determine when to for- ward memory
commands. PI7C7300A forwards a memory transaction from the primary to the
secondary interface if the transaction address falls within the prefetchable memory
address range. PI7C7300A ignores memory transactions initiated on the secondary
