Device-Level Advisories
Software Modification of MPNMC Bit is Not Pipeline-Protected
Advisory DL_2
Revision(s) Affected:
1.0 and 1.1
Details:
Software modification of the MPNMC bit in status register 3 (ST3_55) is not pipeline-protected
so changes to the device memory map may not become valid before the instructions that
immediately follow the modification.
Assembler Notification:
None
Workaround:
Insert six NOPs after the MPNMC modification.
RETI Instruction may Affect the XF State
Advisory DL_7
Revision(s) Affected:
1.0 and 1.1
Details:
The XF pin state is saved on the stack as a part of the ST1 context saving during interrupts
servicing. If the XF pin state is changed inside the ISR, upon execution of the RETI, the XF bit
will be restored to the value prior to entering the ISR. If XF state is not changed inside the ISR,
then there is no issue.
Assembler Notification:
None
Workaround:
BIOS takes care of this problem with software workaround, which is transparent to the users.
Non-BIOS users who are changing XF pin state in an ISR should also modify the ST1 value
on the stack to maintain the correct XF pin state upon exiting the ISR.
