Intel® 460GX Chipset Software Developer’s Manual
12-11
IDE Configuration
12.3.3
BMIDTPx–Bus Master IDE Descriptor Table Pointer Register
(I/O)
Address Offset:
Primary Channel–Base + 04h; Secondary Channel–Base + 0Ch
Default Value:
00000000h
Attribute:
Read/Write
This register provides the base memory address of the Descriptor Table. The Descriptor Table must
be DWord aligned and not cross a 4 KByte boundary in memory.
Table 12-4. Interrupt/Activity Status Combinations
Bit 2
Bit 0
Description
0
1
DMA transfer is in progress. No interrupt has been generated by the IDE device.
1
0
The IDE device generated an interrupt and the Physical Region Descriptors
exhausted. This is normal completion where the size of the physical memory regions
is equal to the IDE device transfer size.
1
1
The IDE device generated an interrupt. The controller has not reached the end of
the physical memory regions. This is a valid completion case when the size of the
physical memory regions is larger than the IDE device transfer size.
0
0
Error condition. If the IDE DMA Error bit is 1, there is a problem transferring data to/
from memory. Specifics of the error have to be determined using bus-specific
information. If the Error bit is 0, the PRD specified a smaller buffer size than the
programmed IDE transfer size.
Bit
Description
31:2
Descriptor Table Base Address (DTBA). Bits [31:2] correspond to A[31:2].
1:0
Reserved.
