PI7C8154A
ASYNCHRONOUS 2-PORT
PCI-to-PCI BRIDGE
Advance Information
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.
3.3.2
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. PI7C8154A 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 PI7C8154A uses to determine when to forward memory commands. PI7C8154A
forwards a memory transaction from the primary to the secondary interface if the transaction
address falls within the prefetchable memory address range. PI7C8154A ignores memory
transactions initiated on the secondary interface that fall into this address range. PI7C8154A does
not respond to any transactions that fall outside this address range on the primary interface and
forwards those transactions upstream from the secondary interface (provided that they do not fall
into the memory-mapped I/O range or are not forwarded by the VGA mechanism).
The prefetchable memory range supports 64-bit addressing and provides additional registers to
define the upper 32 bits of the memory address range, the prefetchable memory base address upper
32 bits register, and the prefetchable memory limit address upper 32 bits register. For address
comparison, a single address cycle (32-bit address) prefetchable memory transaction is treated like
a 64-bit address transaction where the upper 32 bits of the address are equal to 0. This upper 32-bit
value of 0 is compared to the prefetchable memory base address upper 32 bits register and the
prefetchable memory limit address upper 32 bits register. The prefetchable memory base address
upper 32 bits register must be 0 to pass any single address cycle transactions downstream.
Prefetchable memory address range has a granularity and alignment of 1MB. Maximum memory
address range is 4GB when 32-bit addressing is being used. Prefetchable memory address range is
defined by a 16-bit prefetchable memory base address register at configuration offset 24h and by a
16-bit prefetchable memory limit address register at offset 26h. The top 12 bits of each of these
