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 94 for instructions on accessing these regis-
ters.
Table 4-24 summarizes the graphics pipeline registers
and Table 4-25 on page 125 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.
R/W
R/W
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 0 and 1 Registers — These two registers deter-
mine the colors used when expanding pattern data.
GP_PAT_COLOR_2 and GP_PAT_COLOR_3
Graphics Pipeline Pattern Color 2 and 3 Registers — These two registers deter-
mine the colors used when expanding pattern data.

GP_PAT_DATA 0 through 3
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.

Graphics Pipeline VGA Write Patch Control Register — Controls the VGA mem-
ory write path in the graphics pipeline.
8144h-8147h
(Note)
GP_VGA_READ
Graphics Pipeline VGA Read Patch Control Register — Controls the VGA mem-
ory read path in the graphics pipeline.
8200h-8203h
GP_RASTER_MODE
Graphics Pipeline Raster Mode Register — This register controls the manipula-
tion of the pixel data through the graphics pipeline. Refer to Section 4.4.5 “Raster
Operations” on page 123.

GP_VECTOR_MODE
00000000h
00000000h
Graphics Pipeline Vector Mode Register — Writing to this register initiates the
rendering 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 8217h are located in the area designated for the graphics pipeline but
are used for VGA emulation purposes. Refer to Table 5-5 on page 173 for these register’s bit formats.
