Preliminary Information
Programming Notes
8
SERR
System Error Enable
When set, this bit enables the SERR# output. When clear, this bit disables the SERR#
output. The AGP A_SERR# is an input to the AMD-761™ system controller. The AMD-761
system controller receives AGP A_SERR#, ORs it with the normal PCI SERR#, and asserts it
to the AMD-766™ peripheral bus controller for possible error interrupt generation. Refer
to Table 7 on page 34 for details about SERR# assertion and status.
7
STEP
Address Stepping
This bit is always 0 because the AMD-761 system controller does not perform
address stepping.
6
PERR
Parity Error Response
This bit is always 0 because the AMD-761 system controller does not report data
parity errors.
5
VGA
VGA Palette Snoop Enable
This bit is always 0, indicating that the AMD-761 system controller does not snoop the VGA
palette address range.
4
MWINV
Memory Write and Invalidate Enable
This bit is always 0 because the AMD-761 system controller does not generate memory
write and invalidate commands.
3
SCYC
Special Cycle
This bit is always 0 because the AMD-761 system controller ignores PCI special cycles.
2
MSTR
Bus Master Enable
When this bit is set, the AMD-761 system controller accepts DMA accesses from the
AGP interface.
1
MEM
Memory Access Enable
When set, the AMD-761 system controller forwards AMD Athlon™ processor system bus
accesses that reference AGP memory space onto the AGP bus (see “Dev1:0x20” on
page 130).
0
I/O
I/O Access Enable
When set, the AMD-761 system controller forwards CPU accesses that reference AGP I/O
space onto the AGP bus (see “Dev1:0x1C” on page 127).
