‘0’ = There are no more configuration WORDs to follow in
Zone 2. Move to next available zone or end EEPROM
program if no more zones are enabled in the header.
1’1 = There is another configuration WORD to follow for the
Local Configuration Registers
14:8
Local Register address (in IO space). Valid address range is
8 to 15
7:0
8-bit value of the register to be programmed

7.5 Zone 3: Function Access (UART)
Zone 3 allows the UART to be pre-configured, prior to any CF/PCMCIA accesses. This is very useful when the UART needs to
run with (typically generic) device drivers and these drivers are not capable of utilising the enhanced features/modes of the
UART (e.g. 950 mode) that are required for high performance. By using function access, the UART registers can be accessed
(setup) via the EEPROM to customize the UART features before control is handed to the device drivers.
Each 8-bit access is equivalent to accessing the UART function through IO space (addresses 0 to 7), with the exception that a
function read access does not return any data (it is discarded). The UART function behaves as though these function accesses
via the EEPROM were corresponding CF/PCMCIA access.
Each entry for zone 3 comprises of 2 16-bit words. The format is as shown.
