PCI Configuration Registers

A-4

The first bit written to or read from the EEPROM is the most significant bit of
the byte, such as data(7). Therefore, writing the address C0h is accomplished
by writing a 1 and six 0s.

ThunderLAN expects data to be stored in the EEPROM in a specific format.
Nine bytes in the EEPROM are reserved for use by the adapter, starting with
C0h, as shown below. The contents of the remaining 247 bytes are undefined.
The EEPROM can also be read from or written to by driver software through
the NetSio register. The shaded registers in Figure A–1 can be autoloaded
from an external serial EEPROM.

Any accesses to the adapter’s configuration space during autoload are re-
jected with a target retry. The checksum byte is an 8-bit cumulative XOR of
the eight shaded bytes, starting with an initial value of AAh. The adapter uses
this checksum to validate the EEPROM data. If the checksum fails, the config-
uration registers are set to their default (hardwired) values instead.

Checksum = AAh

XOR Data(0) XOR Data(1) XOR Data(2) XOR Data(3)

XOR Data(4) XOR Data(5) XOR Data(6) XOR Data(7);

Where XOR is a bitwise exclusive OR of the bytes.

A.1.2 PCI Vendor ID Register (@ 00h) Default = 104Ch

This register holds the adapter vendor ID. This register is loaded from an exter-
nal serial EEPROM on the falling edge of PCI reset, during autoconfiguration.
Should autoconfiguration fail (bad checksum), then this register is loaded with
the TI vendor ID of 104Ch instead.

A.1.3 PCI Device ID Register (@ 02h) Default = 0500h

This register holds the adapter device ID. The register is loaded from an exter-
nal serial EEPROM on the falling edge of PCI reset, during autoconfiguration.
