Am79C972

Expansion ROM Transfers

The host must initialize the Expansion ROM Base Ad-

dress register at offset 30H in the PCI configuration

space with a valid address before enabling the access

to the device. The Am79C972 controller will not react to

any access to the Expansion ROM until both MEMEN

(PCI Command register, bit 1) and ROMEN (PCI Ex-

pansion ROM Base Address register, bit 0) are set to 1.

After the Expansion ROM is enabled, the Am79C972

controller will assert DEVSEL on all memory read ac-

cesses with an address between ROMBASE and

ROMBASE + 1M - 4. The Am79C972 controller aliases

all accesses to the Expansion ROM of the command

types Memory Read Multiple and Memory Read Line to

the basic Memory Read command. Eight-bit, 16-bit,

and 32-bit read transfers are supported.

Since setting MEMEN also enables memory mapped

access to the I/O resources, attention must be given

the PCI Memory Mapped I/O Base Address register

before enabling access to the Expansion ROM. The

host must set the PCI Memory Mapped I/O Base Ad-

dress register to a value that prevents the Am79C972

controller from claiming any memory cycles not in-

tended for it.

The Am79C972 controller will always read four bytes

for every host Expansion ROM read access. TRDY will

not be asserted until all four bytes are loaded into an in-

ternal scratch register. The cycle TRDY is asserted de-

pends on the programming of the Expansion ROM

interface timing. The following figure (Figure 5) as-

sumes that ROMTMG (BCR18, bits 15-12) is at its de-

fault value.

Note: The Expansion ROM should be read only during

PCI configuration time for the PCI system.

When the host tries to write to the Expansion ROM, the

Am79C972 controller will claim the cycle by asserting

DEVSEL. TRDY will be asserted one clock cycle later.

The write operation will have no effect. Writes to the Ex-

pansion ROM are done through the BCR30 Expansion

Bus Data Port. See the section on the Expansion Bus

Interface for more details. See Figure 5.
