4.4.6 Graphics Pipeline Register Descriptions
The graphics pipeline maps 200h locations starting at
GX_BASE+8100h. Refer to Section 4.1.2 “Control Regis-
ters” on page 99 for instructions on accessing these regis-
ters. Table 4-23 summarizes the graphics pipeline
registers and Table 4-24 gives detailed register/bit for-
mats.

R/W
GP_DST/START_Y/XCOOR
00000000h
Destination/Starting Y and X Coordinates Register: In BLT mode this register
specifies the destination Y and X positions for a BLT operation. In Vector mode it
specifies the starting Y and X positions in a vector.

GP_WIDTH/HEIGHT and GP_VECTOR_LENGTH/INIT_ERROR
00000000h
00000000h
Width/Height or Vector Length/Initial Error Register: In BLT mode this register
specifies the BLT width and height in pixels. In Vector mode it specifies the vector
initial error and pixel length.
GP_SRC_X/YCOOR and GP_AXIAL/DIAG_ERROR
Source X/Y Coordinate Axial/Diagonal Error Register: In BLT mode this register
specifies the BLT X and Y source. In Vector mode it specifies the axial and diago-
nal error for rendering a vector.

00000000h
00000000h
Source Color Register: Determines the colors used when expanding mono-
chrome source data in either the 8-bpp mode or the 16-bpp mode.
GP_PAT_COLOR_0 and GP_PAT_COLOR_1
Graphics Pipeline Pattern Color Registers 0 and1: These two registers determine
the colors used when expanding pattern data.
GP_PAT_COLOR_2 and GP_PAT_COLOR_3
Graphics Pipeline Pattern Color Registers 2 and 3: These two registers deter-
mine the colors used when expanding pattern data.

00000000h
00000000h
00000000h
00000000h
Graphics Pipeline Pattern Data Registers 0 through 3: Together these registers
contain 128 bits of pattern data.
GP_PAT_DATA_0 corresponds to bits [31:0] of the pattern data.
GP_PAT_DATA_1 corresponds to bits [63:32] of the pattern data.
GP_PAT_DATA_2 corresponds to bits [95:64] of the pattern data.
GP_PAT_DATA_3 corresponds to bits [127:96] of the pattern data.

(Note)
GP_VGA_READ
Graphics Pipeline VGA Read Patch Control Register: Controls the VGA memory
read path in the graphics pipeline.
8200h-8203h
GP_RASTER_MODE
Graphics Pipeline Raster Mode Register: This register controls the manipulation
of the pixel data through the graphics pipeline. Refer to Section 4.4.5 “Raster
Operations” on page 128.

00000000h
Graphics Pipeline Vector Mode Register: Writing to this register initiates the ren-
dering of a vector.
GP_BLT_MODE
Graphics Pipeline BLT Mode Register: Writing to this initiates a BLT operation.
Note: The registers at GX_BASE+8140, 8144h, 8210h, and 8214h are located in the area designated for the graphics pipeline but
are used for VGA emulation purposes. Refer to Table 4-39 on page 165 for these register’s bit formats.
