PCI-to-PCI Bridge Registers (D30:F0)
9.1.20
Bit
Description
VGA Enable (VGAE) — R/W. When set to a 1, the ICH6 PCI bridge forwards the following
transactions to PCI regardless of the value of the I/O base and limit registers. The transactions are
qualified by CMD.MSE (D30:F0:04 bit 1) and CMD.IOSE (D30:F0:04 bit 0) being set.
• Memory addresses: 000A0000h-000BFFFFh
3
• I/O addresses: 3B0h-3BBh and 3C0h-3DFh. For the I/O addresses, bits [63:16] of the address
must be 0, and bits [15:10] of the address are ignored (i.e., aliased).
The same holds true from secondary accesses to the primary interface in reverse. That is, when the
bit is 0, memory and I/O addresses on the secondary interface between the above ranges will be
claimed.
ISA Enable (IE) — R/W. This bit only applies to I/O addresses that are enabled by the I/O Base and
2
I/O Limit registers and are in the first 64 KB of PCI I/O space. If this bit is set, the ICH6 PCI bridge
will block any forwarding from primary to secondary of I/O transactions addressing the last 768 bytes
in each 1-KB block (offsets 100h to 3FFh).
SERR# Enable (SEE) — R/W. This bit controls the forwarding of secondary interface SERR#
assertions on the primary interface. When set, the PCI bridge will forward SERR# pin.
1
• SERR# is asserted on the secondary interface.
• This bit is set.
• CMD.SEE (D30:F0:04 bit 8) is set.
Parity Error Response Enable (PERE) — R/W.
0 0 = Disable
1 = The ICH6 PCI bridge is enabled for parity error reporting based on parity errors on the PCI bus.
SPDH—Secondary PCI Device Hiding Register
(PCI-PCI—D30:F0)
Offset Address: 40–41h
Default Value: 00h
Attribute:
Size:
R/W, RO
16 bits
This register allows software to hide the PCI devices, either plugged into slots or on the
motherboard.
Bit
Description
15:8 Reserved
7 Hide Device 7 (HD7) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 7 (AD[23])
6 Hide Device 6 (HD6) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 6 (AD[22])
5 Hide Device 5 (HD5) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 5 (AD[21])
4 Hide Device 4 (HD4) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 4 (AD[20])
3 Hide Device 3 (HD3) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 3 (AD[19])
2 Hide Device 2 (HD2) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 2 (AD[18])
1 Hide Device 1 (HD1) — R/W, RO. Same as bit 0 of this register, except for device 1 (AD[17])
Hide Device 0 (HD0) — R/W, RO.
0 = The PCI configuration cycles for this slot are not affected.
0
1 = Intel® ICH6 hides device 0 on the PCI bus. This is done by masking the IDSEL (keeping it low)
for configuration cycles to that device. Since the device will not see its IDSEL go active, it will
not respond to PCI configuration cycles and the processor will think the device is not present.
AD[16] is used as IDSEL for device 0.
