VGASNOOPVGA Palette Snoop. Read as ze-
ro; write operations have no ef-
fect.
4
MWIEN
Memory Write and Invalidate Cy-
cle Enable. Read as zero; write
operations have no effect. The
Am79C971 controller only gener-
ates Memory Write cycles.
3
SCYCEN
Special Cycle Enable. Read as
zero; write operations have no ef-
fect. The Am79C971 controller
ignores all Special Cycle opera-
tions.
2
BMEN
Bus Master Enable. Setting
BMEN enables the Am79C971
controller to become a bus mas-
ter on the PCI bus. The host must
set BMEN before setting the INIT
or STRT bit in CSR0 of the
Am79C971 controller.
BMEN is cleared by H_RESET
and is not effected by S_RESET
or by setting the STOP bit.
1
MEMEN
Memory Space Access Enable.
The Am79C971 controller will ig-
nore all memory accesses when
MEMEN is cleared. The host
must set MEMEN before the first
memory access to the device.
For memory mapped I/O, the
host must program the PCI Mem-
ory Mapped I/O Base Address
register with a valid memory ad-
dress before setting MEMEN.
For accesses to the Expansion
ROM, the host must program the
PCI Expansion ROM Base Ad-
dress register at offset 30h with a
valid memory address before set-
ting MEMEN. The Am79C971
controller will only respond to ac-
cesses to the Expansion ROM
when both ROMEN (PCI Expan-
sion ROM Base Address register,
bit 0) and MEMEN are set to 1.
Since MEMEN also enables the
memory mapped access to the
Am79C971 I/O resources, the
PCI Memory Mapped I/O Base
Address register must be pro-
grammed with an address so that
the device does not claim cycles
not intended for it.
MEMEN is cleared by H_RESET
and is not effected by S_RESET
or by setting the STOP bit.
0
IOEN
I/O Space Access Enable. The
Am79C971 controller will ignore
all I/O accesses when IOEN is
cleared. The host must set IOEN
before the first I/O access to the
device. The PCI I/O Base Ad-
dress register must be pro-
grammed with a valid I/O address
before setting IOEN.
IOEN is cleared by H_RESET
and is not effected by S_RESET
or by setting the STOP bit.
PCI Status Register
Offset 06h
The PCI Status register is a 16-bit register that contains
status information for the PCI bus related events. It is
located at offset 06h in the PCI Configuration Space.

PERR
Parity Error. PERR is set when
the Am79C971 controller detects
a parity error.
The Am79C971 controller sam-
ples the AD[31:0], C/BE[3:0], and
the PAR lines for a parity error at
the following times:
In slave mode, during the ad-
dress phase of any PCI bus com-
mand.
In slave mode, for all I/O, mem-
ory and configuration write com-
mands that select the Am79C971
controller when data is trans-
ferred (TRDY and IRDY are as-
serted).
