SSTS is a 16-bit status register that reports the occurrence of error conditions associated with
secondary side (i.e. AGP side) of the “virtual” PCI-to-PCI bridge embedded within 82443BX.
Bit
Descriptions
Detected Parity Error (DPE1). Note that the PERRE1 bit does not affect the function of this bit.
Also the PERR# is not implemented in the 82443BX.
15
1 = 82443BX detected of a parity error in the address or data phase of AGP bus transactions.
0 = Software sets DPE1 to 0 by writing a 1 to this bit.
Received System Error (SSE1).
1 = 82443BX asserted SERR# for any enabled error condition under device 1. Device 1 error
conditions are enabled in the SSTS and BCTRL registers.
14
13
0 = Software clears SSE1 to 0 by writing a 1 to this bit.
Received Master Abort Status (RMAS1).
1 = 82443BX terminates a Host-to-AGP with an unexpected master abort.
0 = Software resets this bit to 0 by writing a 1 to it.
Received Target Abort Status (RTAS1).
12
11
1 = 82443BX-initiated transaction on AGP is terminated with a target abort.
0 = Software resets RTAS1 to 0 by writing a 1 to it.
Signaled Target Abort Status (STAS1). STAS1 is hardwired to a 0, since the 82443BX does not
generate target abort on AGP.
DEVSEL# Timing (DEVT1). This 2-bit field indicates the timing of the DEVSEL# signal when the
82443BX responds as a target on AGP, and is hard-wired to the value 01b (medium) to indicate
the time when a valid DEVSEL# can be sampled by the initiator of the PCI cycle.
10:9
01 = Medium. (hardwired)
Data Parity Detected (DPD1). Hardwired to 0. 82443BX does not implement G_PERR# function.
However, data parity errors are still detected and reported on SERR# (if enabled by SERRE,
SERRE1 and the BCTRL register, bit 0).
8
7
Fast Back-to-Back (FB2B1). This bit is hardwired to 1. The 82443BX as a target supports fast
back-to-back transactions on AGP.

66/60MHZ Capability. Hardwired to 1.
