This register provides basic control over the PCI0 interface (hub interface) ability to respond to PCI
cycles. The PCICMD Register enables and disables the SERR# signal, parity checking (PERR# signal),
GMCH’s response to PCI special cycles, and enables and disables PCI0 bus master accesses to main
memory.

Reserved.
9
Fast Back-to-Back. (Not implemented).
Hardwired to 0. Selects whether the GMCH can generate
fast back-to-back transactions to different PCI targets.
8
SERR Enable (SERRE)
. This bit is a global enable bit for Device 0 SERR messaging. The GMCH
does not have an SERR# signal. The GMCH communicates the SERR# condition by sending an SERR
message to the I/O Controller Hub.
1 = Enable. GMCH is enabled to generate SERR messages over the Hub interface for specific Device
0 error conditions
0 = Disable. SERR message is not generated by the GMCH for Device 0.
NOTE:
This bit only controls SERR messaging for Device 0. Device 1 has its own SERRE bit to
control error reporting for error conditions occurring on Device 1. The two control bits are used
in a logical OR manner to enable the SERR hub interface message mechanism.
7
Address/Data Stepping. (Not implemented).
Hardwired to 0.
6
Parity Error Enable (PERRE). (Not implemented).
Hardwired to 0. PERR# is not implemented by
GMCH. Writes to this bit position have no affect.
5
VGA Palette Snoop.
(Not implemented).
Hardwired to 0. Writes to this bit position have no affect.
4
Memory Write and Invalidate Enable.
The GMCH will never use this command and this bit is
hardwired to 0. Writes to this bit position will have no affects.
3
Special Cycle Enable.
(Not implemented).
Hardwired to 0. The GMCH ignores all special cycles
generated on the PCI.
2
Bus Master Enable (BME)
.
(Not implemented).
Hardwired to 1. The GMCH is always allowed to be a
Bus Master. . Writes to this bit position have no affect.
1
Memory Access Enable (MAE)
.
(Not implemented).
Hardwired to 1. The GMCH always allows
access to main memory. Writes to this bit position have no affect.
0
I/O Access Enable (IOAE)
.
(Not implemented).
Hardwired to 0. Writes to this bit position have no
affect.
