SSIZE32

Software Size 32 bits. When set,

this

bit

indicates

that

the

Am79C976 controller utilizes 32-

bit software structures for the ini-

tialization block and the transmit

and receive descriptor entries.

When cleared, this bit indicates

that the Am79C976 controller uti-

lizes 16-bit software structures

for the initialization block and the

transmit and receive descriptor

entries.

this

mode,

the

Am79C976 controller is back-

wards

compatible

with

the

Am7990 LANCE and Am79C960

PCnet-ISA controllers.

The value of SSIZE32 is deter-

mined by the Am79C976 control-

ler according to the setting of the

Software Style (SWSTYLE, bits

7-0 of this register).

SSIZE32 is read only; write oper-

ations will be ignored. SSIZE32

will be cleared after H_RESET

(since SWSTYLE defaults to 0)

and is not affected by S_RESET

or STOP.

If SSIZE32 is reset, then bits

IADR[31:24] of CSR2 will be

used to generate values for the

upper 8 bits of the 32-bit address

bus during master accesses initi-

ated by the Am79C976 controller.

This action is required, since the

16-bit software structures speci-

fied by the SSIZE32 = 0 setting

will yield only 24 bits of address

for the Am79C976 controller bus

master accesses.

If SSIZE32 is set, then the soft-

ware structures that are common

to the Am79C976 controller and

the host system will supply a full

32 bits for each address pointer

that is needed by the Am79C976

controller for performing master

accesses.

The value of the SSIZE32 bit has

no effect on the drive of the upper

8 address bits. The upper 8 ad-

dress pins are always driven, re-

gardless of the state of the

SSIZE32 bit.

Note that the setting of the

SSIZE32 bit has no effect on the

defined width for I/O resources.

I/O resource width is determined

by the state of the DWIO bit

(BCR18, bit 7).

7-0

SWSTYLE

Software Style register. The val-

ue in this register determines the

style of register and memory re-

sources that shall be used by the

Am79C976 controller. The Soft-

ware Style selection will affect the

interpretation of a few bits within

the CSR space, the order of the

descriptor entries and the width

of the descriptors and initializa-

tion block entries.

All Am79C976 controller CSR

bits and BCR bits and all descrip-

tor, buffer, and initialization block

entries not cited in Table 85 are

unaffected by the Software Style

selection and are, therefore, al-

ways fully functional as specified

in the CSR and BCR sections.
