Description
15:12 Reserved
Discard Timer SERR# Enable (DTE) — R/W. This bit controls the generation of
SERR# on the primary interface in response to the DTS bit being set:
11
10
0 = Do not generate SERR# on a secondary timer discard
1 = Generate SERR# in response to a secondary timer discard
Discard Timer Status (DTS) — R/WC. This bit is set to 1 when the secondary discard
timer (see the SDT bit below) expires for a delayed transaction in the hard state.
Secondary Discard Timer (SDT) — R/W. This bit sets the maximum number of PCI
clock cycles that the Intel® ICH10 waits for an initiator on PCI to repeat a delayed
transaction request. The counter starts once the delayed transaction data is has been
returned by the system and is in a buffer in the ICH10 PCI bridge. If the master has not
repeated the transaction at least once before the counter expires, the ICH10 PCI bridge
discards the transaction from its queue.
9
0 = The PCI master timeout value is between 215 and 216 PCI clocks
1 = The PCI master timeout value is between 210 and 211 PCI clocks
8
7
Primary Discard Timer (PDT) — R/W. This bit is R/W for software compatibility only.
Fast Back to Back Enable (FBE) — RO. Hardwired to 0. The PCI logic will not generate
fast back-to-back cycles on the PCI bus.
Secondary Bus Reset (SBR) — R/W. This bit controls PCIRST# assertion on PCI.
0 = Bridge de-asserts PCIRST#
6
1 = Bridge asserts PCIRST#. When PCIRST# is asserted, the delayed transaction
buffers, posting buffers, and the PCI bus are initialized back to reset conditions.
The rest of the part and the configuration registers are not affected.
Master Abort Mode (MAM) — R/W. This bit controls the ICH10 PCI bridge’s behavior
when a master abort occurs:
Master Abort on (G)MCH/ICH10 Interconnect (DMI):
0 = Bridge asserts TRDY# on PCI. It drives all 1s for reads, and discards data on writes.
1 = Bridge returns a target abort on PCI.
5
4
Master Abort PCI (non-locked cycles):
0 = Normal completion status will be returned on the (G)MCH/ICH10 interconnect.
1 = Target abort completion status will be returned on the (G)MCH/ICH10 interconnect.
NOTE: All locked reads will return a completer abort completion status on the (G)MCH/
ICH10 interconnect.
VGA 16-Bit Decode (V16D) — R/W. This bit enables the ICH10 PCI bridge to provide
16-bits decoding of VGA I/O address precluding the decode of VGA alias addresses
every 1 KB. This bit requires the VGAE bit in this register be set.
