SMBus Controller Registers (D31:F3)
14.2.7
Host_BLOCK_DB—Host Block Data Byte Register
(SMBUS—D31:F3)
Register Offset: SMBASE + 07h
Default Value: 00h
Attribute:
Size:
R/W
8 bits
14.2.8
Bit
Description
Block Data (BDTA) — R/W. This is either a register, or a pointer into a 32-byte block
array, depending upon whether the E32B bit is set in the Auxiliary Control register.
When the E32B bit (offset SMBASE + 0Dh, bit 1) is cleared, this is a register containing
a byte of data to be sent on a block write or read from on a block read, just as it
behaved on the ICH3.
When the E32B bit is set, reads and writes to this register are used to access the 32-
byte block data storage array. An internal index pointer is used to address the array,
which is reset to 0 by reading the HCTL register (offset 02h). The index pointer then
increments automatically upon each access to this register. The transfer of block data
into (read) or out of (write) this storage array during an SMBus transaction always
starts at index address 0.
When the E2B bit is set, for writes, software will write up to 32-bytes to this register as
part of the setup for the command. After the Host controller has sent the Address,
Command, and Byte Count fields, it will send the bytes in the SRAM pointed to by this
7:0 register.
When the E2B bit is cleared for writes, software will place a single byte in this register.
After the host controller has sent the address, command, and byte count fields, it will
send the byte in this register. If there is more data to send, software will write the next
series of bytes to the SRAM pointed to by this register and clear the DONE_STS bit. The
controller will then send the next byte. During the time between the last byte being
transmitted to the next byte being transmitted, the controller will insert wait-states on
the interface.
When the E2B bit is set for reads, after receiving the byte count into the Data0 register,
the first series of data bytes go into the SRAM pointed to by this register. If the byte
count has been exhausted or the 32-byte SRAM has been filled, the controller will
generate an SMI# or interrupt (depending on configuration) and set the DONE_STS bit.
Software will then read the data. During the time between when the last byte is read
from the SRAM to when the DONE_STS bit is cleared, the controller will insert wait-
states on the interface.
PEC—Packet Error Check (PEC) Register
(SMBUS—D31:F3)
Register Offset: SMBASE + 08h
Default Value: 00h
Attribute:
Size:
R/W
8 bits
Bit
Description
PEC_DATA — R/W. This 8-bit register is written with the 8-bit CRC value that is used
as the SMBus PEC data prior to a write transaction. For read transactions, the PEC data
7:0 is loaded from the SMBus into this register and is then read by software. Software must
ensure that the INUSE_STS bit is properly maintained to avoid having this field over-
written by a write transaction following a read transaction.
